Thank you,

We had a very low mileage car that had sat for many years have its valves varnished to the point where the valve stuck open, and when they tried to start the engine -- it bent several valves.

Not sure how you can check for that or prevent that -- but maybe someone can chime in for a method. Just hand turning the engine probably would not have worked unless it was done pulling all plugs and a very astute feel on the crank nut.
