Whats the best way to store a spare engine? Rx8.

ive drained coolant from central housing .

oil is still in the sump..new...and i turn the flywheel weekly 1 or 2 revolutions.

Sparkplugs are in .....should i be doing anything else?

its been stored in the garage since mid dec.

Took out plugs and no sign of rust but got some penetrating spray in both housing and put em back in and turned over by hand to spead it about...its prop best finding a blown rx8 and storing in there...thats what ive told myself....

thanks guys if it looks to be longterm no use which im sure will be the case ill fill with airline oil.
