Default Yet another engine question???

I found a pretty good deal on a 99 B18C1 with 66,000 miles that I am going to be purchasing tomorrow or Tuesday. I have just enough to get the engine so it is going to be sitting in my garage for a few months before it is going to be put in. My question is will the engine get messed up just sitting there a few months?

not as long as you rotate the crank now and then and drop a bit of oil down the spark plug holes every couple months
