That is from taking it apart & spilling coolant. If it ran fine before, do what JR told you. Wipe the cyls down & oil them to keep them from rusting. And pull the oil drain plug to let anything drain. Less pics, more turning wrenches.

You can use motor oil, WD-40 (the WD is for Water Displacement, with the 40 meaning they f'd up the formula the first 39 times) or fogging oil.

Matt, best thing to do is to run to the parts store and buy a quart or two of their cheap-o store brand oil. Pour some directly onto a rag, and wipe down all exposed portions of the cylinder walls. Do this once a week until you get heads back on it.

Motor oil, as opposed to gear oil, or canola oil. :D

today Im goin to get some things at the parts store,

What gaskets should I get for the heads? do i need a new harmonic balancer?

Since you aren't doing anything fancy, just go for a regular fel-pro head gasket kit.

A new harmonic balancer is up to you....how does your old one look?

Scrape off ALL of that old gasket before you install the new one. Make it smooth, use a razor blade, leave no rough spots. Spend a lot of time doing that, don't hurry through it
