probably a bit late as its been about a year now but what should I be doing to the 3.8 to keep it lubed while its sitting over a period of time... would it be fine for another couple months?.. I havent dropped the sump yet so its still holding oil

i dropped all the rockers off the valves, paper towels in the intake with plastic bag as a seal, same on exhuast manifolds and a dissy with just a oil pump drive, pumped it up to pressure each week and turned it over by hand, oh 351 cleveland sat for about a year
