How long is ur waiting period? and is it all re-assembled...?? if it is.. just leave it be.. it will be just fine! as long as it is not running, it will be just fine.

Usually when you build a motor you spray wd-40 on the cylinder walls and assembly lube every thing else so that should be good. Did you build it or did you get it done somewhere?

do you have ductile steel sleeves? but you should cover it with plastic to keep dust and other things. but, if you have a ductile sleeve spray wd40 or coat the walls with 10w 30 oil.
