wd40 will prevent rust buildup while these parts are sitting, i would clean the oil off with some varsol, then *lightlly* spray them with wd-40, or somekind of rust-inhibiting lubricant spray.
lvs works good too.

put 10W30 in a spray bottle and mist these parts periodically... but if you have them hot tanked, they should come back all oiled and in a sealed bag that should remain sealed until you are ready to get your build on.

as long as you don't have the bores touched, hot tank the components, and dry them very well. If you machine the bores, you will get deterioration. not a big problem. spray with engine oil, and wipe down. DON"T USE WD40.
