I haven't started my evo in 6 months

Hey everybody, probably an OCD question but I have been storing my evo in my garage and haven't started it in 6 months, basically I'm asking if I need to take precaution and try to fog the cylinders and line the camshafts??

Another thing is prior I stored it outside for a year and started it every 3 months do you guys think It may have rusted some parts internally during that time? I feel I'm good but some stuff I've seen at work changes my mind lol, please and thankyou for an replied

I go for months at a time with my car down while I do surgery here and there. The only problem I ever have is a dead battery. Otherwise it always cranks up just fine.
