how long can it sit
Well kiddies my father & son build has come to a stop for now. Not only because of unemployment but my health has turned on me.
What I need to know is how long can I let the new engine sit before I have to worry? Everything on it & in it is brand new and all sealed up
0 miles, just like a crate.

The more you rotate the crank the worse off its going to be when you start it... I dunno why he would recommend that.
Just make sure you put some wd40 in the cylinders and keep plugs in it. You'll be fine for a few years.
