Winter storage - valve springs

[gnxtc2]

Just wondering what you guys do when the car sits over the winter.

With the solid rollers, does it pay to back off the rockers so the tension is off the springs to keep the valves closed to prevent moisture from getting into the cylinders rusting things up and pull the plugs and squirt some type of oil in the holes.

or

leave the motor alone and start it up every so often.

My garage is heated and connected to my house. I'm not to fond about backing off the rockers because if something happens in my house, I can't start my car up.

Back the rockers off,its better for the springs.
Im not a fan of running the motor unless you gonna bring it all the way to operating temp everytime.
But it is also not good to let these cars sit and idle either.

I back mine off during prolonged periods of sitting and squirt some WD40 in the holes. Saves the springs and keeps the load off the rockers and lifters.
