Ditto on what Eddy said.

Also, for an engine sitting for a long time, there is a risk that the rings are gunked up and sticking in the piston grooves. While the heads are off, load the tops of the pistons with WD-40 or a penetrating oil to loosen the rings and rotate the engine every day for a few turns, each time reoiling the piston tops.
