Stored rebuilt 253 care

[Dick61]

I had a 253 completely rebuilt and have it sitting on an engine stand, wrapped and covered to keep out dust and moisture.

It probably wont get started for about 12 months as other parts take priority, so I want to know what should I be doing while it is stored.

Should I lubricate it and turn it over the give the springs some relief or just leave it until I am ready to plug it in a turn it over?

Thanks.

Lend it to me, I'll look after it, promise!

Its best to loosen all rockers and just turn it over every few months
