  Anecdotally, from a story on VV years ago, one of us passed away in FL and
  had a gazilliion parts all labeled and marked in plastic bags. Club 
members
  went to help the widow and found most of it rusted and
  unusable/unserviceable ... I have personally had to have a Corvair crank
  polished that was coated with WD 40, plastic-bagged and kept in an 
insulated
  garage which was sometimes heated - MD and VA.  Axle grease as PL Booth
  pointed out, if heavy enough will probably do the job.
  IMHO, the products which leave a film, modern variants of Cosmoline;
  Rustlick 631, Formula 101 Corrosion Suppresant", mfg by Crown, Boeing T-9,
  along with desiccant are the way to go. For me, I have decided that wax
  paper wrapped and twist wrapped or taped tightly over the film is the best
  method, trying to duplicate the way bearings come tightly wrapped in oily
  paper. Then the desiccant inside a tightly wrapped paper bag.  Still 
worried
  about the condensation within the plastic bag. I am especially concerned
  about crankshafts, cam shafts, & bearings.

  Also, cars or parts from the dry areas of the country will immediately
  develop rust when brought back to the humid areas. Take immediate
  precautions.

  Any other ideas about storage containers or cleaners?
