After I break down the engine should I degrease and hose the parts or will they rust? I just have to pull the crank and cam and it will be broken down.

Thanks,
Jim

If you don't want them to rust, then don't clean them. If you do clean them, coat them with something to inhibit rust immediately afterward

Fox won't crank over and fuel pump won't kick on.
