No not the stuff they pump you with in an operation/santa pod but New Old Stock. More to the point new engine components that were packed back in the 70's. One of my new viva heads is covered in that lard-like looking brown stuff that everything seemed to have been from that time - for rust prevention of course, It also has that rustproofing sheet all around it.
My question is - should i really clean all that off?
A-fankoo.

I wouldn't clean it off until you need to use it. Unless you need to inspect it / work on it.  |

Sorry that's what i mean - i am about to start building it up to whack on the viva tonight. By your answer i guess cleaning it all off is the 'on form' thing to do.

Tats, this is going to take hours. Well it already has and it's still putting up a fight.
