Oil and then put plastic over it,just dont close the plastic up completely so it dries out if it condenses water.I have put an engine on the engine stand,oiled it up and put a trash bag over it for a month or 2 before.When you take the plastic off to build it,clean it first in case there is any dust trapped by the oil.
Another way Ive done is put it on the stand, set the heads on,put a couple of bolts in to hold the heads on,put the pan on with a couple of bolts and the valve covers with a couple of bolts,intake with a couple of bolts.Then if I have some paint I might paint it.If you paint it you might get some dripped onto somewhere you dont want it,but a wire brush on a grinder will knock it right off,or you could put some masking tape around the seams I guess,and where the carburetor bolts on,tape the up and anything else you dont want paint on.Then slide a plastic bag over it after the paint dries,or anything to keep the dirt off of it and out of it.A clean rubber floor mat if its big enough works even better than a plastic bag because wind wont blow it of as easy.
