up to you, you can just start it with fresh oil or just turn it over a few times by hand / start it without coilpacks plugged in for a few turns, then start as normal

i had my s16 engine out of the car for about 6 months and did the above before running it first time

^^This

Then once you've got the engine up to temp, switch it off, drain all fluids and change filters. Refill fluids and do a belt change. Yes

Squirt a little oil down each bore after you remove the pulgs and before you spin it over, even duck oil or WD40 helps, just don't flood it with the stuff, a one second burst from an aerosol is good enough.
