Actually, SK Kid is right, I know, because he was referencing what happened to me... and an engine WILL crank over when a cylinder is full of gas... and if it fires and starts before that particular cylinder has reached BDC and let the gas out the bottom of the cylinder... BOOM... rebuild time... Disagree all you want, and it may not be something that you need to worry about 99 times out of 100, but it CAN and did happen to me. I still have the bent rod and scored piston on a shelf to prove it. I blame it on a leaky Holley that alllowed fuel to run into the intake and puddle on top of 1 cylinder after sitting for an extended period of time.
