Re: Engine Rebuild Tips and Suggestions Needed!!!

The bearings will be greased as usual so it will be safe to spin the engine with the starter with the plugs out to prime and build up oil pressure ...good advice.

I assume it would be best to fill the oil filter with oil.

What is break in oil and how long does one run it in the new engine?

Regarding the lifters, how does one adjust them after the engine is assembled...it looks like the intake and exhaust manifolds will need to be removed.

I see Kanter sells hydraulic lifters... I initially thought that would be a good idea however it appears from the advice on this forum that they are not a good idea.

The engine looked to be green...my dad seems to think that it should be green however other posts indicate it should be grey...was any of these engines painted green from the factory?

THANKS AGAIN guys for all of the advice.
