Re: Rebuilt motor start up

Sorry to keep on your case Gary, but there is more repair required! :)

"After it's all broken in, remove the "grub" screw and plumb in the filter!"

"remove" should be "install".

Hi J, quite alright, we don't need wrong info up here, especially from me!

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. I have no issues ever being corrected!

Sounds good Gary, but I have an aluminum bellhousing and a steel adapter to make the 8BA fit the T5 so I'm not sure how to make that work.

New rings need to be run under load to get them bedded in correctly.
Therefore, achieve both jobs at once; get vehicle running, then DRIVE it.

This is essentially what my machinist told me. He said the reason behind running the engine at higher revs was to ensure there was enough oil getting to the lifters as they just rely on oil "splash" and not direct oil lubrication.
