almost to the point of starting this thing up..... engine came with no fluids and will be full with everything connected properly ..... is there a do's and don'ts of what I should be cautious of with the first startup????
Recommend filling the oil filter with oil before installing the oil filter. This will reduce the time it takes to build oil pressure.
Disable the fuel system to prevent starting. Crank the motor in short bursts until oil is seen in the top end.
Re-enable the fuel system. Cycle the key several times without cranking. Listen for the fuel pump to run each time. Then crank the motor to start. Verify oil pressure comes up quickly.
Check for leaks.
Have a beer.
