I've started to take off the intake parts among other things and the car has been sitting for 2 weeks now and probably wont be started for at least another 3 weeks while I work on the manifolds, etc. I've heard its not good to let your engine sit in storage without running it. How true is this, what can happen? Since I can't start it, would it help at all to spin the e-shaft front bolt by hand?

My car sits for months and months over the winter, its fine when I start it again. Just be sure the battery has full power before you try to start it so

you dont flood it.



I havent started my car since the first week of January.

yea, if your water o-ring is in good shape, it should not be a problem.
