Ive got low milage engine 60,000 miles on it thats been siting in a barn for 5 years coverd up. Im putting the motor back in and should i be concerned about moisture in the cylinders cause of condensation? Should i take out the plugs and spray something like wd40 in it or something else,or not worry about it.
 
I'd certainly make sure to take care of basic upkeep before even starting it...IE plugs, fluids, belts, etc.
 
I'd change the head, valve cover, cam seals, intake, exhaust and throttle body gaskets at the very least. With the head off you will be able to tell if there are any potential problems lurking.

Good luck!
