Long Term Storage

Long Term Storage
I am about to put a complete HiPo motor away for approximately two years.
I intend to drain and refill the oil and I will turn the motor over, with the starter, every two weeks. I wont be able to actually run it because the cooling system will be empty and the wiring harness will be removed.
My concern is whether or not I should take any particular precautions to prevent the injectors from becoming gummed up due to the fuel evaporating from the lines.
I have given some thought to runnung some Toluene or a similar pure solvent through the fuel system to purge it of the additives that would turn to varnish over time.
Any input from experience?
