Default Manually turning the engine

Hello, This is my first post here. I had my 06 z {Manual 35k original miles) seating for on a trickle charger for about 2 years. Since I had to take it to get it smog, I decided to perform the following.
1. In effort to prevent any piston wall damage I Added about 1oz of the following: Marble Mystery oil and 30w oil. I also added about 1/4oz of liquid wrench penetrating oil. I was careful not to allow any foreign particles in to combustion chamber.
2. Thoroughly clean the engine compartment.
One day later, I manually turn the engine about 10 times clock wise from the crank case.
When I turn on the engine with every coil properly placed, the process was as expected. Big white cloud of smoke coming from the pipe. Similar to Sea Foam Treatment. However,
The process did not work as plan.
After two days of working and turning the engine to idle several times, I have the following problems: Misfires/rough idle and six codes 0075-0078-0084-0102-0113 and 0081 al the codes where recorded with a xtool d7w.
One of my concerns is that I mess up the timing by manually cracking the engine? or the problems where there already due prolong seating.

I welcome any input that can assist me to resolve this problem. Thanks!

You will not have those problems from manually turning the engine

I'd be more concerned with the liquid wrench than anything - assuming you added this to the oil?
That being said, 2+ year old gas is going to be pretty rough to run on, especially in California - because everything sucks in California.

Understood. The car had less than a gallon in the tank. I added 3 fresh gallon to the tank.
Here is an image of the liquid wrench I used.

As an update. The xtool d7w now is giving me a multiple misfire and code 0300. Runing the older style Ultimate racing high flow cats.

I used only about 1/4 to 1/2 oz in each cylinder.

Your misfires and codes are likely caused by a combination of long-term storage, possible minor timing shift, and fouled spark plugs or ignition components. Check that the cam and crank timing is correct, inspect or replace spark plugs and coils, use fresh fuel, then clear the codes and test.
