Re: Initial start

Put heat lamps on the oil pan for a few hours prior to a pre-prime. This will lower the viscosity of the oil.

Pumping that thin oil will be way easier and will also aid immensely in getting flow throughout the entire lube oil system.

For basically the same reasons, heat lamps should also be used if a cam break-in has to be conducted in an unheated garage - during periods of cold weather.
