I had the cover off the motor the other day and generally it looks in great shape. There is one small area of corrosion/rust starting around the top of the fuel injector rail. Appears to be just on the surface for now. Is there a spray or coating out there that will stop it in it's tracks?
Thanks

I liked Extend but lots of people tell me the Rustoleum is better, they were convincing enough that I used the Rustoleum on my trailer last summer.

You may paint it or spray it with a corrosion guard-like product. The corrosion guard products are a heavy oil/way that mostly dries. It forms a barrior against corrosion and works quite well. It is not pretty to see, however. My well-used Saltwater OB came with a 1/8" thick coating of the stuff. The salt never had a chance.

Thanks all,
So I can just wipe off as much as possible and spray this on?

I use this stuff and it is great. LPS 3 leaves a waxy film. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_i=B00295ONEI&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_

Shop locally for it ;)

Take a dremmel with a wire wheel and get as much rust off as you can.after that,it almost does not matter what you put on it.As long as you DO put something on it.Clear paint,primer,cosmoline,vaseline,corrosion control grease,nail polish ....You get the point.
