Default Inverted Engine, what to expect?

Guys,
The World Models Spitfire that I'm putting together of course calls for the engine to be inverted totally. It would stick way too far out of the cowl any other way. I will be using an OS FX .61.
I have been told that this is fine, but engine may have idling problems from being inverted. I have also heard that sometimes fuel can build up and lock the engine up, and if it is turned over, it can badly damage the internal parts.
Some have told me that because I am using a quality engine that is a newer model, the above will not be an issue.
Can anyone tell me what to expect? Any advice/tips? Thanks.
