Caution: Before the engine is installed in a vehicle, it needs to be filled with oil and primed. Check the engine oil level on the
dipstick and add accordingly. To prime the engine, first remove the distributor to allow access to the oil pump drive shaft.
Note the position of the distributor before removal. Install an oil priming tool. Using a 1/2" drill motor, rotate the engine oil
prime tool clockwise for two to three minutes. While you are priming the engine, have someone else rotate the crankshaft
clockwise to supply oil throughout the engine and to all the bearing surfaces before the engine is initially fired. Reinstall the
distributor in the same orientation as it was removed. After the engine has been installed in the vehicle, recheck the engine
oil level and add oil as required.
Ignition Coil Installation:
The ignition coil will need to be installed. It can be attached to either the rear of the cylinder head, or the firewall of the ve-
hicle, depending on the amount of clearance for your application. Torque the ignition coil bracket bolts to 22 Nm (16 ft.lbs.).
Attach the ignition coil wire to the distributor.
