Wisconsin V4 engines are bad here about the valves sticking over the fall and winter while they are in storage. I have been doing as the manual has suggested and mix a 50/50 mix of kerosene and whatever engine oil you use in the crankcase, then dump it through the carb inlet with the engine hot till it dies. It will coat the valve stems and upper cylinders with lubricant. Just beware that you'll probably have to put another set of plugs in when you get ready to get it back out of hibernation. The next best thing is to take it somewhere and run the fool out of it at least once a year to blow the cobwebs out. Maybe a local plow day or such ? Sorry to say this but with it sitting around more than running, it will be a deal if you don't use it, you will loose it deal. The fogging will help tho. As to under the valve cover, if it's like the 172ci Fords in the harvesters we have, they've never been accused of having too much valve train or timing gear lubrication. Hope this helps.
