So for the record;
3.2 motor from an '03 S, has been sitting on the floor in my garage for months. Hasn't run since June. No oil in the sump, been draining for months. So we can all assume no oil pressure in the hydraulic tensioners, right?

Motor turns either direction just fine. No contact, no noises, no resistance. Two full revolutions of the crank, each direction.

Now it's also fair to assume the hydraulic tappets are also "soft", so valves not going full lift. But I would assume if one is true, so is the other.

This is pretty definitive, to me.
