First start-up. Hello,
I'm getting ready to start-up a LS1/4L60E that I've installed into a 1946 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup. The engine/transmission has been setting for about 4 years and I wanted to know what steps I should take leading up to the first start-up. Here is what I've done so far, New oil and filter in engine, new fuel injectors, new oil in transmission, oil in power steering pump, computer reflashed, new wiring harnass, installed oil pressure gauge at oil filter boss and installed fuel pressure gauge on fuel rail.
I plan on cranking the engine over to get oil pressure before actually starting it. Also, the complete fuel system is new including RCI fuel cell, Mallory fuel pump and filter and all new stainless steel hard lines. I plan on running the fuel pump to set the pressure (58 psi) at the fuel rail before starting also. Have I missed anything? Thanks, Al.
