Any motor I am going to leave for quite while I pull the plugs and put about a tablespoon of oil in the cylingers, turn it over by hand and then put the plugs back in. This way the cylinder walls are coated and the rings won't stick.

The only problems is when you start it the first time it will smoke like heck for a few seconds.

That's what I need. I'm getting ready to build it to get it out of the way. The truck won't be drivable for quite some time. I just wasn't sure what I needed to do since it'll be a fresh rebuild and then sitting for a while. I could put it on the frame and run it for a while if I need to then pull it back off but if I can build it and let it sit that'd be ok too. Any other opinions?
