starting old/new engine

[84slow]

Just want some ideas what you guys do when starting up a new/old engine after a year... So I finally completed my tpi swap engine sat a year prior to swapping it in. I put a liter of oil down the heads on either side spun crank by hand 5 times or so and crank motor for 5 seconds with fuel pump relay removed... Oil is all fresh and level even filled out filter... I'm going to be firing it tomorrow at some point and suggestions or any recommendations you guys have?

Fire it up if you have oil pressure you should be good to go

Put the relay back in and hit it.

I would like I say if oil pressure is good let her rip

 

[Jim hopper]

After u run it for a minet check to see if you have any leaks if no you should be good

When you cranked it over did you see oil pressure on the gauge?

Good thing you guys mentioned oil pressure didn't come cross my mind from the excitement of hearing it crank... I just checked my mechanical gauge and the line it's got oil pressure...

For sure! I'm eventually going to make the build thread got pictures from start to finish and got everything else written down
