So it isn't freshly machined? As long as you wipe it down good with an oily rag, on all machined surfaces, you should be OK for a couple months. You can have the block "bagged" at the machine shop. They usually give you back a block in one after machining. It's a heavy plastic bag, sealed and usually with some of those dessicant bags thrown in. As long as it won't be where there could be condensation inside the bag, you'll be OK.
