How to start her back up??

[jooset]

Just got done with rear main seal/oil pan gasket job. Also did the intake gasket/seal while I was at it. Now that there's been no oil, fuel, or coolant running through for several days; how do I safely get it started?

Thanks,
Matt

Unplug the fuel pump harness and let it crank for a while with no fuel to prelube it a bit. As for the coolant leave the cap off until it starts to circulate to burp the system and avoid large air pockets. Also dump in a bottle of water wetter or the royal purple additive.

or just disconect the orange wire by the battery. put the oil in crank the motor to build oil pressure,re-conect the orange wire start the engine, pour distilled water in radiator until full and circulating. check oil pressuer if you have guage,should be fine and check for leaks.your done, warm up take for spin.
