Hi Jim,
I don't know if that is available these days or not. However a suitable
alternative that I have used, and stored my Healey block with for 4 years,
is 2-cycle engine fogging oil. It dries thick and gooey like Cosmoline and
washes off with simple green and water or similar. There wasn't a spot of
rust on the block, crank or head and all sat coated in plastic bags for
several years.
Spray each part liberally first, cover with a large plastic bag or wrap it
loosely with a plastic drop cloth, spray a nice fog into the bag and seal or
wrap tightly immediately. Should be good to go for years.
Cheers,
Chris

Subject: [Healeys] storage
is Cosmoline still on the market, and would it be plausible to cover and
engine with it before long term storage. i can remember as a youngster
helping my dad coat farm equipment with it. we had a few drums of ww2
surplus around and used it on lots of metal things since it rained a lot in
oregon. might work. hjim
