OIL PRIMING:
Safety first, if the vehicle is on the ground, be sure the park brake is set, the wheels are chocked and the car cannot fall into gear.
Verify everything is installed properly and nothing was missed.
1. This engine assembly may need to be filled with oil. If the engine has oil, then it has already been primed. If the engine does
not have oil or the oil pan has been replaced, then the engine should be primed. The use of Kent-Moore engine preluber kit
J45299 is the preferred process for priming. Refer to Preluber instructions below.
2. After installing the engine, ensure the crankcase has been primed and filled with the appropriate motor oil to the
recommended oil fill level on the dipstick. This crate engine requires an oil meeting GM dexos® 1 specification with a
viscosity range of 5W30. (For track use or competitive driving it is recommended to use 15W-50 Mobil 1)
Information regarding the GM dexos® engine oil specification, including a list of licensed brands can be found at https://www.
gmdexos.com/
3. Also, check and fill as required any other necessary fluids such as coolant, power steering fluid, etc.
Preluber instructions:
NOTE: A constant and continuous flow of clean engine oil is required in order to properly prime the engine. Be sure to
use approved engine oil, as specified.
1. Install an oil pressure gauge (the existing oil pressure sensor location at the upper rear of the engine may be used).
2. Locate and remove the engine block left front oil gallery plug.
3. Install the M16 x 1.5 adapter P/N 509375
4. Install the flexible hose to the adapter and open the valve.
5. Pump the handle on the J45299 preluber in order to flow a minimum of 1-1.9 liters (1-2 quarts) engine oil. Observe the
flow of engine oil through the flexible hose and into the engine assembly. The engine will be primed after a small amount of
pressure change is seen on the in car oil pressure gauge while pumping J45299.
6. Close the valve and remove the flexible hose and adapter from the engine.
7. Apply approved thread sealer and Install the oil gallery plug to the engine and tighten to 60 Nm (44 lb. ft.).
OIL PRIMING PORT
In the absence of a preluber kit, the following process can be used
1. Install an oil pressure gauge (the existing oil pressure sensor location at the upper rear of the engine may be used).
2. Disconnect fuel and the ignition control system (removing power from the ignition control module is recommended).
3. Remove all of the spark plugs, which will reduce the load on the engine bearings and starter motor during the oil priming
sequence.
4. Once, the fuel and ignition control systems have been disconnected, place the vehicle in neutral and crank the engine using
the starter for 10 seconds and check for oil pressure. If no pressure is indicated, wait 30 seconds and crank again for 10
seconds. Repeat this process until oil pressure is indicated on the gauge.
5. Install the spark plugs and reconnect the fuel and ignition control systems.
