What ELSE can I learn on a dyno?
I bought my Cobra with the engine in tact, and I know very little about it. It runs very strong and very well, and I do not want to mess with it too much. However, my curiosity is getting the better of me, since I built my last engine from scratch. What can I really learn about the engine w/out disassembling it? I figure hp/torque can be learned on a dyno. Can I determine the displacement? It's a 289, but how can tell if it has it been bored? How about cam duration/lift? Can my shop measure this by popping off a valve cover and measuring valve travel? Finally, can I damage my motor at all by running it at the limit on a dyno to get power numbers? Thanks for all of your help in advance!
