ok, so i know it will start, will it be ok to sit for another month or so till i get my engine bay all backtogether and some peices powder coated? i need to take my header off and get that painted before it looks like shit... plus get my core support sand blasted and painted... lol, i got ALOT to do before it gets started again.

Yea it should be fine sitting if u get a chance just start it every once in awhile...

yah start it and run it for 5-10 minutes every week and you should be fine.

wouldn't wanna do that without a header on it though........if you thought it was loud without an exhaust....would be even louder without the header....

not to mention it would probably screw up your motor......

lol, i at least know that much.. i didnt want to start it without a whole exhasut but i know people that ran staright headers and were fine.. so i figured a couple minutes it would be ok.
