| Post subject: | assembly lube |
Hi again guys, another noob question, when I put the engine together recently I didn't use assembly lube but used generous amounts of the oil I'll be running it in on. It's now been sitting for a little longer than I anticipated and I'm starting to think I should of used assembly lube. If I turn the motor over before starting for the first time to bring up the oil pressure will it be ok? Thanks guys. |

Yes it will, but if sitting for a while I would prime the oil pump first: Remove spark plugs. Remove oil pipe from block, squirt oil into the block until full. Wind motor over backwards a couple of turns. Squirt more oil in until full. Refit oil pipe but leave the top fitting loose 2 turns. Crank engine until oil (not air) runs/spurts out. Tighten oil pipe, refit spark plugs. VrooooooooM! |
