New engine startup??? Getting ready to crank up the new engine and was wondering about what to do for pre-start. I cranked the motor over to hopefully pump some oil through the motor, then I pulled the oil filter and it was still dry. Does the motor have to be running for the pump to siphon the oil from the oil pan? Also, what about the antifreeze, should I get as much in the block as possible before starting? or should I just fill the radiator up and top it off as it drops?
Thanks for any help,
Dan

Pull the fuel pump and ignition fuses.....crank it over a few times until you've got oil pressure....replace fuses....start it up and
