Turn it slow and you will have enough leakage that the compression won't keep you from turning. BUT don't break the fan!!!! Another way the rotate the engine if you have a flat drive to work on is to put the car in gear and push/pull the car to turn the engine. All you have to do is lean on the front of the car to move it. Just as a general safety tip, make sure the ignition is OFF while doing this stuff.
