Yes, the cam on a Continental is under the crankshaft versus on top where nothing drips oil on it in storage. That’s the theory.
Yes that is correct; the camshaft is lower down. But it still isn’t submerged in oil. It just gets a lot more splash during engine operation than the poorly lubed Lyco cam.
Thanks everyone. I’ll Keep you updated on what happens.
I agree, there may or may not be a problem with the engine, If there is one, then and only then should you decide on how to fix it.
Otherwise, just make sure you don’t cause a new problem during the engine de-preservation. Advise to build up oil pressure before starting is very good, I would also use camguard, but I am not so sure about LPS3 at the end of the preservation.
Good luck with your medical!
Sorry should have been clearer 
LPS2 is what’s recommended….
