Storing a block

[JayArr]

Hello

I'm changing the engine in my wifes 1990 240SX, I pulle the old one out and disassembled it completely just for the fun of it. It had 300K++ so I figured it owed my nothing. Now that it's all apart I see it's not in bad shape at all and could possibly be rebuilt for use again some day down the road.

How do i store the block?? I don't want it to rust but it may be years before i need it. I thought of smearing grease all over the cylinders and journals etc to protect them. Is there another/better way?
