1. After completing the engine assembly, double check the oil and coolant levels. Check the correct connection of the wiring and hoses, remove all foreign objects from the engine compartment.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wires, turn out the spark plugs and turn off the ignition by removing the high-voltage wire from the distributor cap and securely connecting it to the cylinder block with a jumper with clips. 3. Turn the crankshaft with the starter until the emergency oil pressure warning lamp goes out. Screw in the spark plugs and replace the high voltage spark plug wires and the distributor wire (see subsection 2.2.3).
4. Start the engine. The engine should start after a short period of time, necessary for filling the fuel line with gasoline. 5. As the engine warms up, watch closely for oil, gasoline, or coolant leaks. Unusual odors and smoke may be produced from parts exposed to high temperatures due to burn-out of residual oil.
6. If everything is in order, then wait until the upper radiator hose warms up, then stop the engine and check the oil and coolant levels.
7. Check ignition setting and idle adjustment (if verification is provided), then stop the engine.
8. After a few minutes, check the oil and coolant levels (see subsection 2.2.8), restore if necessary.
9. If the cylinder head bolts are tightened in accordance with this description, then when the engine is first started after a major overhaul, it is not necessary to tighten the head bolts.
10. If new pistons, rings, main and connecting rod bearings were installed, then the engine must be run-in during the first 800 km of run. During the break-in period, do not drive at wide open throttle or at too low a speed in any gear. It is recommended to change the oil and filter after running in.
