Default priming motor????

before starting up a new motor how do you prime it with these motors?

the old motor you could just hook a drill to the distributor and spin it up but thats no longer an option

thanks for the input

there is an oil galley plug at the left front of the engine. it requires a pressure luber and an adapter to fit the hole(M16 by 1.25 i THINK. don't quote me)

There is also an adapter that threads on where the oil filter goes, and uses a pressurized oil tank for priming.

Default Priming

When I did mine I pulled the plug wires off the coils, Then turned the motor over until I saw oil pressure. May take a few times but you should see it eventually.

I hope you pulled the fuel pump fuse, too!
