Engine Start-Up & Break-In
Starting the Engine
1. Fill the crankcase with the proper quantity and grade of engine oil.
2. Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 mixture of coolant/water.
3. Connect the vehicle battery.
4. Disable the ignition and crank the engine to develop oil pressure. Check the oil
pressure indicator; if oil pressure is not developed within 10 seconds STOP the
engine.
CAUTION
Damage to the engine can result if it is allowed to run with no oil pressure. Check
the engine oil level to make sure that it is full. Check for any leaks and if found,
repair the leaks before continuing. If there is still no indication of oil pressure, prime
the system.
5. Confirm that there are no fluid leaks.
6. Start the engine and maintain an idle of 2500 RPM for a period of 20 minutes to
properly break-in the cam and lifters.
7. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.
8. Install any remaining components or body panels that were removed.
