Hey guys,
So on this start up I am starting a fresh build engine, its been sitting for 3 years since rebuild, we have discussed the procedure and I do have a oil pump priming tool that I will be using, about a teaspoon of new oil will go in each cylinder as discussed previously, so I think I am set, but the question is this........
When I actually fire this thing and the lifters are not primed or pumped up yet, do I let it go right up to 2000 RPM for the 20 minutes cam break in, or do I need to do something prior to that to allow the lifters to pump up?like let it run at low rpm for a few minutes? I know some rockers are slightly loose but we have decideded that its because the lifters are not pumped up yet?
Its my understanding the priming tool is only going to lubricate the lower portion of the motor.
