Oil them up and box them.

Nothing bad should happen.

Fill a kiddie pool up with 2500 quarts of german castrol, and 100 bottles of lucas oil stabalizer and dunk the heads in. Then cover the pool with four or five large tarps and use a comealong to tighten the tarps against the sides of the kiddie pool. Then crate the pool up. Caulk the gaps between the wooden crate. Then wrap the crate in shrinkwrap. Makesure to store the shrinkwrapped crate on blocks up off the floor. Wrap this whole thing up in aluminum foil (or copper if you can affor it) to shield from RFI. Ground the foil to earth with copper wire incase of lightning strikes.

Or you could just oil them up and keep them in a box like the other guys said... That might work too.
