You may want to get some heavyweight oil (20W50) or some MMO or something, and put a wee bit into each cylinder and turn it over by hand a couple times. That should get a nice oil layer on the cylinder walls and prevent pitting if it is going to sit a while.
good advice but you'll also want to continue to turn the crank every so often to keep it from seizing... once a week should be fine.
