She's beating and breathing again
04 S six speed
After I got all the liquids into to her and the battery charged up I couldn't wait for morning I had to TURN THE KEY! Yesssssssss, she's beating and breathing again!!! Damn they sound good. With the fuel pump fuse removed I cranked the engine 4 times (build up oil pressure) then replaced the fused, cranked her for real and away she went. I only ran her for about 3-5 minutes. So what advice do you have for starting and running this engine that has just been rebuilt and only run for 3 - 5 min. . I still need to burp the coolant and bleed the steering. |
Just open the coolant bleeder valve & top up the level. If the gas is older than 3 months fill the tank with fresh premium. Start the engine & hold rpm at 2000 til it reaches 180 F. Check for leaks & noises.

Thanks Bypro, I did that today.
The temperature reached about 190 -200 then settled back to 180. Through the burping process I added another gallon of coolant. I took it out for a 25 min. drive tonight, running the engine between 2000 -3500 RPM and everthing seemed good. The coolant level stayed up, good heat from the car heater, the radiator fans cycled on and off, so far no leaks. I installed the 160 degree thermostat from LN. |
