You never know. You might find that missing nut in one bore & save bending a conrod or head, valve & piston damage. Bill Mac found a nut in the cam chain drive.

This may be a bit of a tangent, but, with all the discussion of Oxendine's engine, it's been in the back of my mind that I've not turned over the engine of my car for a long time. It used to move with a tug on the fan or fan belt, but not anymore. I couldn't find my 1 5/16 AF socket, but Amazon has provided a next day replacement. Fortunately, the crankshaft turns nicely, however the water pump is absolutely rigid. Since that's ultimately going to scrap, it's not too worrying. Still it might be indicative of how much gunge there's to be removed from the water passages.

Draining the coolant as a storage practice is not a good idea, there are always puddles left in the system that start to corrode and rust things now that air is introduced.
Flush, and install a 5 year coolant in for storage purposes, replace as necessary.
I stored mine dry once _ it's not dry _ what a mess !
One can not get all the coolant out unless they start disassembling everything.
