True. If an engine has been standing for a while it's worth turning it just a degree or two, because oil seals dry out and stick to the shafts - if you turn it over fully you can tear the thin lip off the oil seal. Turning the engine over a degree and then leaving it for a while allows the lips to slowly release the shafts without tearing.
