My Perkins Sabre manual says to turn the engines over without starting to get lube oil pressure up if engines have sat over one month. Seldom do mine sit that long, if ever. I'd never do it anyway because I don't want to risk water into the engine due to water lift mufflers. Once over 12 liters or so, a prelub setup is more common if not mandatory since the engine dimensions are too big to get lube oil to the top end quickly following a start.
I with Marin on this one. Time will kill my 6 liter engines before any other cause, barring stupid neglect of course.
