How to protect aginst rust on engine stand
Let me start off by saying this is new territory for me. Normally some suspension work and normal bolt on mods/repairs is my limits. I inherited this engine from work. Its an all aluminum 5.3 out of a 08+ Tahoe of some sorts. A guy at work bought it for the cylinder heads, he moved on to another job and left it here. We got new owners and had to clean out the room it was in. I got ahold of him and said if I got it out of there its mine. I sprayed some wd40 in the cylinder walls once I got it back home and onto an engine stand. I don't really have any plans for it as of now so I'm just wondering what to do to keep the cylinders from rusting until I find something to stick it in.

That's where I stand now. Now remember it set months in the back of a shop so its not the cleanest. The liquid in the cylinders is the wd40 mixed with what carbon was already on top of the cylinders. I know the 08+ does play well with any of the 99-07 trucks like I have do to the reluctor ring from what I've been reading. I figured I'd keep it around for a future swap if anything every comes around.
