That is what I needed to know. I will do that now so the engine is in good shape when I go to fire it back up.

I may run a straight weight nonsyn for the first few hours as the engine has set up for over a year. Any other suggestions as what I should do like inject some trans fluid in the spark plug holes, etc? Seems as though there is good compression on turning the engine over.

I would use ATF to free up a stuck engine or decarbon one that won't start. However, for storing more than a month, remove the trailing plugs and squirt in conventional motor oil. Turn the crank one revolution, repeat, one revolution, repeat.........
Three times, will get all 6 compression faces. Tape over the intake and exhaust. Repeat at least every 6 months.
