I can answer your question as it pertains to NOS Ford flathead crankshaft rod and main bearings.
I have found Cosmoline will attack the bearing Babbitt surface actually eating away at the surface rendering the bearings junk. Cosmoline will not preserve a surface forever it eventually becomes acidic from what I have seen at least on bearings.
