Did the cars come in out of the cold into a nice warm (and perhaps humid) shop? This could be a condensation problem.
seconded. you always have to keep the parts lubricated. what you might try is fogging the engines. its a marine term. an additive in the fuel produces a "fog" of oil that coats every part of the engine. its used for putting boats away for the winter.
