Since the cars in question are in storage, I assume the use/access to a trickle charger to keep the batteries in good shape. Would the benefits be gained and the detrimental effects lost if you were to turn the engine over without fuel or spark? Just prime the oil system, fuel system and let the engine reposition itself a bit, then recharge the battery?
