i am ready to start building my 355, and i have a few questions conserning general engine stuff.....

1: i have heard it said that a large cc chamber will outflow a small cc chamber because it unshrouds the valves, is this true? i have a set of afr 195 eliminators, 1038 75cc chamber, with the pistons i am choosing should yeild a 9.2 to 9.3:1 compression...

2: would it hurt to assemble the engine and sit it in the car without starting it for several months? or should i wait?

thanks! adam

 

Haven't heard about your unshrouding the valves thing but it will not hurt your engine to let it sit for several months. If you assemble it properly with the assembly lube and oil up what you're supposed to during assembly you'll be fine.
