So I'm about to start building my 235. However, the ol' truck is outside in the yard, covered(thankfully), but mostly inaccessably.
My question is this:
if I build my engine now, and it winds up sitting for a few months until the snow finally melts (probably mid august....tee hee hee), will there be any problems? In other words, would it be bad to put it all together, and not run it for months. Is there any chance anything might sieze, or could the assembly lube drip off? Are there any extra precautions I could take to prevent problems?
I've got the bug (like I'm sure so many of you have), and I'm super anxious to build start putting things together...but should I be patient and wait until I can run it right away?
