Oil it down real good and get one of those bags that you can suck the air out of with your vacuum cleaner.  Put the motor in it and suck all the air out.  That should do it I would think. Or put it in a sealed bag (zip lock?) and put one of the moisture wicking packs in with it.

I forgot this was a dry sump engine. Don't worry about changing the oil. However DO NOT USE WD-40!!! For some reason it will cause metal to rust. If, you talk to any machine shop, they will tell, you not to use WD-40 on any bare metal engine part. Also WD-40 dissipates. This means it will dry, and not leave an oily film. If, you want to cover the engine, use grease.
