Default engine winterizing question

Opinions please. I've just winterized my 4.3 liter Volvo with duoprop
outdrive. After draining exhaust manifolds, engine block, impeller,
and then adding antifreeze to all the appropriate areas, I'm
wondering...is there any benefit to starting the engine for a few
seconds after filling it up with antifreeze? I'm wondering if running
it for a few seconds would actually circulate the antifreeze to
potential 'dead zones' or mix any remaining water pockets. I've
winterized for years and never started it but was wondering what you
guys think.

Thanks,

Wayne
