you need to make sure every thing in the engine is well oiled, squirt mmo or some other oil in each cylinder, a lot of it. if the intake manifold is off put a lot of oil in each intake port, same with the exhaust manifold, put the intake manifold and exhaust manifold back on, then seal all open holes on the engine, carb, intake and exhaust manifolds , remove the valve covers and oil all the rocker arms valve guides, and oil down the push rods, if the engine is not going to be stored for a real long time leave the oil in the pan, spray the out side of the engine with a lite oil, one that can be removed easily later, find a good moisture eliminator, like that is used in food packages, or any thing that absorbes moisture, then wrap tight in a big plastic bag, keep off floor and out of damp and windy places
