Default Help with heads

I have a set of low mile 243's i bought a few mths ago, roughly 4k on them. My project plans have been slowed a bit due to winter weather and work. My questions do the heads need anything thing special utnil I can out them on? Lube, etc etc, if so exactly where and can you post pics if possible.

I guess they are fully assembled? You can always just take some fresh motor oil and rub it on there with your finger here and there.

Spray them down with a light oil - WD40 is okay, but something a little heavier is better. Wrap them in plastic and store them with the sealing surface up in a box. If you leave them standing in the corner of a garage, someone will knock them over, and heads always fall on the sealing surface (it's like a rule).
