I too am interested in how to prepare engines for storage, right now I have some in cardboard boxes in a wooden shed a few blocks from the ocean. We have finally emptied some rubbermaid containers so I am going to use them and store them in the garage, my problem is how to wrap them as well.
I am assuming acid-free tissue paper is the best option... I was looking at some on Amazon and in one of the reviews, someone mentioned to store in acid free cardboard box after wrapping as plastic can give off gases...
