    how long without oil ?

    NO, I didn't run it without oil in the engine. But I did drain it, so I could plug up the oil cooler outlets, and while I'm doing some head/valve work and waiting for some new gaskets.

    any harm in letting the engine sit, with no oil in it, for a few months or so ?

    Won't hurt if you don't turn the engine, might pull a battery lead so it can't happen accidently.

        Maybe stick a plug back in to stop condensation or water getting in but all the parts should be well cover with oil even though its drained.

          Agreed. If you keep moisture and dirt out it should last forever (so to speak).
