Hi Paul
First
I would say unless you are about to start the engine and are timing it up
etc why turn it, all that will do is wipe clean away any cam lube etc.
Second
If you really cannot resist the temptation to turn it over, real oil not
contaminated water or whatever it is that they label as WD40!
Graham.
