Just wanted some advice on things that I should be aware of prior to starting the ole beast back up after the cam install and heads were put back on?? I've already stockpiled enough oil for 4 oil changes and just bought 2 gallons of antifreeze. I'm in the process of tuning for the bigger injectors that I installed. What else do I need to know or expect? Thanks

 

Prime the oil-pump make sure the motor is pre-lubed...

 

How exactly do you prime the oil pump?? Not trying to sound stupid but I've never had to do that before. Thanks

 

Pull out the injector fuses under the hood, there are (2). Also, disconnect the coil wire. Once you do this, crank it a couple of times so you get oil pressure up, this way you will know your pump is primed.

Reconnect everything, and you are good to fire it up.

 

That's easy enough! Thanks for the good info. I had no idea that I had to do that. Any other good chunks of info that would save me from possible disaster?

 

good info on priming the oil pump,never really knew how to do that either.im going to do that once the beast comes out of hibernating also.besides that just make sure all the fluid is up to level

 

Unplugging your PCM fuse will take care of all of that... spark and fuel.

 

DAMN good info , thanks guys!!! ive yet to start it ! waiting for headers in the mail ;D

 

Expect a slightly hard start. Expext smoke from exhaust at first and from underhood where you got oil/grease on the headers.

Eh....thats all i have.

Change the oil after the motors ran for about 15 minutes or so.

 

I'm glad I posted this question. I probably would have messed myself if when I started the car and it got engulfed in a cloud of smoke and I wasn't expecting it. I told the girlfriend that she can stand fire guard! lol just kidding. Thanks for the replies everone.
