Default Engine built, storing until startup questions

Have a rebuilt engine sitting on a stand. Everything is new, never been fired. It has to sit in an unheated garage until Spring, and temps in the garage can get into the 20's and 30's.

Any recommendations on what to do for safe storage?

Put oil in it now, or wait?

Cover with a plastic bag?

Fog the cylinders?

Want to keep condensation out, and that dreaded enemy called rust away. Was told to use a magnetic heater on the oil pan, fill with oil, and fog the cylinders.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
