First your engine has a common condition of crabber (condensation and oil mix) accumulated in the valve cover. It can be found on a modern engine as well but not as common. Ford even went as far as to use a PCV with a heating element in it. I think it was for colder climates and used across the board.
The oil that gets to the valve stem is more for removing heat than lubrication.
My first thought on preventive medicine for long storage is to fog the engine. My fist thought on that would be a marine fogger.
Up next would be to plug off the intake and exhaust. On my last venture it surprised me all the intakes were stuck. You made a comment about venting the engine to the intake side of the carb. I would put the intake side (PCV) between the carb and intake, the fresh air side (vent) to the air filter assembly to supply filtered air to the crankcase. The goal it to pull a good vacuum on the crankcase. The day PCV's were introduced engines started lasting longer as the contaminants in the air space were drawn from the engine : )
I am not again 2cy mix : ) good stuff just use the correct formula for a water cooled engine.
