Greetings.
Just before winter, I got my head back from the machine shop (for my
1275 Midget) and put it in my garage. Moron that I am, I did not oil
it, treat it, seal it or anything. I just put it on a shelf.
Now, it's all rusty on the mating surface (where it mates to the
block). I have oiled it now to keep this from getting any worse. The
other surfaces were painted by the shop. What should I do now?
Do I have to take it back to the shop and have them machine that face
again? What will this cost me? Are there any other options? Should
I worry about rust that might be inside the ports or elsewhere?
Should I prime the inside of the ports?
Thanks in advance. I can't wait to get her back on the road.
