Default re: Summer is over

Yeah .... summer is over .... my xFire is "asleep" till Spring ... but I was thinking about the Spring start-up ....
After an extended time of the car in storage, there is the chance that the oil in the top cyclinders may have leached down the pistons and the tops of the cylinders may be lacking enuff lubrication on initial start-up. Is there a way to pre-lube the tops of the cyclinders WITHOUT pulling plugs or cylinder heads. Maybe a way to crank the engine with just the starter for a moment or two, without the engine firing. This might be enuff to pre-lube the cylinders before startup.
What's your take on this?
