hey guys, help needed!
if i remove a engine and trans, is there anything that can muck the engine up while sitting empty of liquids/oils? how long can it sit without these things?
also, how long does an engine have to be sitting un-run for until the oil and other fluids seize up?

differential housing (where the 2 x driveshafts insert into) , and the throttle body , and the exhaust ports or header. Also any of the open lines of the coolant system ( heater hose / thermostat housing / inlet from radiator under the head etc)
