Well I'm just about wrapping up the installation of my new DPR custom-built high compression motor into the old NX. I just had a couple of questions prior to engine startup:
1) I was told to "prime the engine with oil" before I actually start the motor for the first time. Does anyone know how to do this? Disconnect the coil wire and .....?
2) I added coolant w/ the bleeder screw on the thermostat off until coolant flowed out of there. I then put the screw back on and continued to add coolant until it started overflowing the fill port. Am I done until engine startup where I will remove the cover of the air bleeder valve near the firewall and add more coolant until coolant comes out of this valve?
3) Immediately after startup, the first thing to do is break-in the cams (JWT C2s) by modulating the rpms between 1500 and 2000 for 10 - 15 minutes? After that set idle and timing?
Thanks for any help,
Steve
