Rebuilt motor start up
I had my 8BA rebuilt and I'd like to test run it before it gets put in the car.
I would like to know EXACTLY what to do.
Here's some of the questions I have.
Do I need to install a radiator and coolant or can I run without it?
(I only plan on running it to check for oil pressure and leaks and whatever else I should be looking for)
I've read about priming the motor with oil, so I don't think that'll be a problem for me to handle.
Should I run an oil filter? I think it should, but want to input. It was plumbed for 95% oil filtering.
Should the clutch and pressure plate be installed?
Will it run it with a gravity feed fuel bottle or do I need a fuel pump? (Single two barrel carb)
Please let me know if I'm missing anything.
Thank you, Joe
