[Help] Turn motor with starter??

My Evo’s been sitting for 8 months without starting, Ofcourse I’ll change fluids when I get back back, I am curious about turning the motor over by unplugging the coil packs to get oil around so it won’t fire dry, Will this cause any significant damage? Also will
be adding marvel mystery oil on my chambers prior.

My Evo is sitting around 6 months every winter. All I do is add new oil and prime the oil system by removing the crank position sensor plug before starting (cranking without firing).
It always fires and runs like it was only sitting for 1 day.

If your battery isn't dead and your tire pressure is still fine, just start it, let it warm up, and drive it. I don't think that's enough time for anything bad to happen.
