I should be firing my newly rebuilt engine for the first time tomorrow.
A few minutes ago, while installing the drive-shaft, I began to wonder about beark-in procedure etc.
Anybody have some tips on firing a freshly rebuilt engine for the first time?
Should I let it sit and idle for a while? How long should I wait before changing the oil? Number of miles of keeping my foot out of it?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Edit: I know to crank it without the plugs to get the oil going first.
