If it is not rusty now, and will be stored in a relatively safe envirionment you can simply coat the surfaces with motor oil and wrap it in a sheet of plastic.
If it will stored in a high moisture environment for an extended time period, I would look at some cosmoline products.

Try to find a place that sells Mystic oil products. They have aerosol cans of spray grease. One can will cover all 8 cylinder walls, deck, mains and bearings. Be nice to your builder, though, and find a car wash with hot water and wash it good before you take it to him, grease (including Cosmoline) are tough to get off even in a block washer.
Forget WD-40, it won't last a month. You need something with stick.

I've stored many cylinders (bare metal machine parts) with CRC HDCI. Wrap them in a zip-tied garbage bag and forget it.
Go to any marine supply store and they will have many similar options.
