Default Cylinder wall protection

I have a question... I'm performing a build and before I hone the cylinders I need to know one thing. Is there any remedy used to protect the cylinder walls from rust before/after block assembly besides spraying them with WD-40 every few days? My head is not ready to assemble yet so that is not an option as of this moment. Any advice regarding this matter would be appreciated. Thanks..

I picked up b18b1 long block with a spun bearing for CHEAP not too long ago and I just fiinished disassembly, so I wanted to take it to a machine shop to get it looked at, hot tanked and honed.

So, wait till your head is finished, then get the bottom end done, and assemble afterwards.
