I have a custom 351 Windsor balanced and polished, ready to install in my 56 F-100. Then along came an opportunity to get a 2nd 56 with a Y-Block....which put off the first project while I try and get the Y-Block on the road. I have read a lot about long term storage on engines. I keep this engine on an engine stand covered with a blanket. I faithfully rotate the crank two and a quarter turns every two weeks. About once every two months I squirt some lube in the cylinder walls before I crank it.  If I understand correctly, two and a quarter revolutions on the crank makes sure the valve springs are rotated to prevent the same valve springs from always being under tension. I'm just looking for advise or experience to keep this engine alive and well until I get er in.
