hey Jay
Im sure other blokes will have more specific info for you but i was told by my engine guy to just make sure all its holes are covered and to put a sheet or something over it so that any moisture in the garage or shed will not not reach the motor.

Run it up to temp about once a month, good idea at the same time to move the vehicle backwards and forwards a bit (or once around the block / paddock) to prevent tyres deforming where they are resting on the grounds and turn everything else over.

make sure all the rockers are released so there is no pressure on valve springs if the engine is out of the car drop your sump grab a can of what they call engine honey made by moley by memory this is what some mechanics use when putting an engine togethe
