The engine has been in a 60 degree, dry, heated garage for two years. bearings, cam, etc, well lubed, bores dry. Will I have rust on the bores?
pre-oil suggestions? yes, I'm slow (and old) thanks in advance.

Given your location I might suspect it but in a heated garage? Likely not. Still you can be on the safe side and pull the glows and give it some WD 40 and and a squirt of oil and turn the engine over by hand for awhile with the glows out. Can't think that will hurt it.
