My first engine build. I just hope it runs when I'm done!

set initial time it to 18 BTDC, make sure the plug wires are set and light her off! Keep it a high idle if it has a new cam or lifters. other than that, just watch oil pressure on start, if it doesnt jump to about 60 in 2 seconds shut down and check her over. ONly thing htat will stop that motor from running is your lack of race gas money.
