I am in the process of an overhaul. How do I keep those freshly cleaned parts from rusting until I get the engine re-assembled?

Jim: I used to use a product made by "ZEP". Protective coating..
Aerosol cans, spray it on and it leaves a film. Later I started using it on my shovels and things when storing for the winter. The film when dry is sort of tacky, so parts will need to be washed off. They got a web, I CRS!! But google search for ZEP and you can find it easily enuff.

There is a product called "Fogging Oil" meant for marine use that works well; probably similar to the Zep stuff Mac Speaks of. BTW Zep makes a lot of good stuff!

The first thing is the obvious, keep them dry as far as water. That would include condensation and moisture in the air. The second thing is a coating of oil or grease will prevent rust. To tell you the truth, I like to clean parts just prior to installing them. I ussually clean in gas or a cleaning solvant, blow them dry with compressed air, and coat them with oil (I use the same oil that I plan on using in the engine). My reasoning for cleaning just prior to installation is, that way they don't lay around and start accumulating dirt for a period of time before installation and need to be cleaned again. You know how dirt and dust accumulates on your work bench, that's what I try to prevent getting on the parts. Also, good idea to keep blanket over engine when not working on it untill it is all together. Just my 2 cents worth.

TIP: Keep STP away from all valve train components especially if it is going to be an extended time before operation.

Just as they claim, this is a coating material that does wanders in older engines. when used on new valve stems, guides, and lifters it can cause them to seize up and now function.
