You squirt some automatic transmission fluid (ATF) through your spark plug hole into the rotor housing and crank her up. Like jonesfromindia said it can ruin things, but only if you start getting stupid with it and frequently use it. Just do a little search on the ATF trick I think there is a write-up on it just so you don't kill your car.
