Ah well then.
If you haven't yet changed the oil from 'new' (since rebuild), I'd do it now, and consider changing the filter element too.
In all other circs I wouldn't trouble too much about oil standing for any time up to say a year; but at least 2 or 3 oil changes in the initial running-in period (1500 - 2000 miles) are highly advisable, even with a full-flow filter. Specially if it's something rare and precious like that.
