I helped pull props around preflight on a B-17 a couple years ago. I was told it was to avoid hydrolock from oil draining into the lower pistons on those big radial engines.
The Dodge has a much smaller combustion chamber so I'll make sure and clear whatever lubs I do try (I've been adding WD40 and 30 weight to the dead cylinder.) before I put the spark plug back in.
