It also depends on your environment too. Houston would be worse than Vegas due to the humidity.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA It's 89 and 20% today. We have the Mexican Monsoon blowing through so it went up from our normal 6%. Can't hardly breath in all this mug!!! Should be blowing out this weekend though and back to the 6%.
To the OP, I have seen engines a lot worse then that after storage even with after run. Minn hit it dead on, it depends a lot on how and where it is stored. I just started using an engine I had stored but I stored it dry, I cleaned it with alcohol. Surprised me when I rolled it over and the bearings were grinding and stiff, I flushed it with Marvel Mystery Oil and it was just fine, just dry and really needed the lube.
