I'd really like to fire it up and see how this box works for this engine but it's -20c here. Would it be a bad idea to give it a nice preheat and see if the box spins the engine over without starting it? The engine is lubed up inside, broken in and all. Thanks guys!
As long as you heat the engine up. Maybe 2-3 good cycles before you attempt to fire it, you should be ok.
