Hi all,

I was taught that you leave the spark plugs out (so that the engine turns
over easily), and turn over the engine until you see the oil pressure rise
on the dash guage. Then you know that the oil passages are filled with oil
and that the oil pump is working properly. Replace the spark plugs and
start the engine -- slowly please!! Best regards, Jim

HI club. I was taught that when you first fired up a fresh engine you had
to hold the throttle wide open for the first 30 seconds or so.This was done
to
get oil to the cam.Failure to do so could wipe the lobes (one or more ) off
the
cam.But I go back to flat head Fords and before Parkising! Its hard to make
yourself do it but I've never had a failure on start up.I also rub
Molybdenum Disulfide on the cam when I install it.I think it helps but have
no
proof. Jim
