You're looking at atleast doing an oil change now. I have gotten away with leaving an engine outside only to have the cover I put on the intake blow off and it get filled with water. I would fix the pushrod issue, dont even bother starting it, and change the oil+oil filter. If he doesnt want to fix the pushrods just have him cover it up.

is there a hood on it? or is the motor just hanging out? I would just do a drain and fill.

If the hood is on it you should be good for awhile.
