Cam Storage

I have an LG X2 Cam that I wont be installing for awhile. Im keeping the cam inside, but any recommendations for storage of the cam as far as lubrication, etc ... ?

Put it in a sealed bag with some motor oil or WD40 or something. I don't know if it matters if you store it upright (standing up) or laying on it's side though. I would stand it up on end.

same principal as storing a crank. if stored long enough laterally it will, in essence, make a banana out of it.

Im looking forward to it, it will definitely be this Spring at some point ... but it had already sat for a few months, so I figured I should probably get it cleaned up. It's a pretty mean cam, I've been told.
