You'd get almost the same effect as fogging on the cylinder walls but you'll miss coating the intake (of minor benefit IMO) and piston top and valves. My concern with turning it over periodically would be that if you haven't emptied the fuel system it'll be spraying fuel into the cylinders, and this would be a bad thing.
