I am just about finished putting things together
CIA, sensors etc. and I am running the steps through
in my mind.Dont want nothing to go wrong,have
big $$$$ in it. So trying to get good input.
Thanks.
Definitely prime it like said above. Use a heavier weight oil and after it fires set timing and then keep the rpms at 2000 for about 10 minutes. Shut it off and then drain the heavy oil and put regular weight in. Change that oil after the next 500 miles. That's all I really remember doing.
Prime it with a drill, counter clockwise. I believe the tool is 1/4". You can rent it at autozone. Get it running, set the timing, check for leaks then go out and break it in properly. Follow this link and read and do what Barry R says. After you do that come home and change the oil and filter. Cut the filter open and check for shavings. It should be free of shavings. Congrats, you're broken in. Now go out and beat on it and enjoy
