hehe, to start with I'd rip the crank out of that block asap. (I cracked the main pulley nut for you  they can sometimes be quite annoying), so its just a matter of taking the flex plate off the back of the motor, the rear seal and cover, the front timing cover (which already has all the bolts out of it), then undoing the main bearing caps (mark/number them if you plan to reuse them).
I'd give it a wipe off with an oily rag, and then oil the bearing surfaces (clean oiled rag/crc). Hopefully the crank will come up ok...
I'd also clean and oil the bores as soon as possible as well if your trying to get away with out a rebore!
so yeah, try to wipe the surface rust off with an oiled rag, and then leave it oiled would be my plan of attack.
also the manual is out of a MX62, but pretty well the same
if you want to have a look at the bottom end of an M series engine the MA61 TSRM online has good stuff (its a 5mge but pretty well the same applies). easy to find on the net, if you get stuck finding it just yell.
Cheers
Wilbo
