A buddy of mine would turn his engine over I think 1 1/4 times at the balancer after spinning the oil pump for about 30 seconds. Get the oil moving and turn it. He did this every 3 - 7 days. This helps to keep the springs and surfaces fresh (the same springs arent compressed all the time and seals arent sitting static). If you can, store it on a stand.
