First start after rebuild

(1/10) > >>

DomP:
Very soon I should be ready to start my rebuilt engine, just valves and electronic ignition to adjust and exhaust to fit, having never done this before what procedure should I follow?  I'm slightly nervous about it to say the least, really hope I've done everything correctly.

Nurse Julie:
Most important.... Take a front tappet cap off at each end and make sure you are getting oil splatters, put a white paper towel in front of the holes to see if you get oil spits. If no oil at top end, turn off engine straight away and investigate. Good luck, I'm sure it will be fine.

Jan B:
Always a special moment. Keep an eye on the oil light too. Should turn off quickly

Johnwebley:
Can I suggest you fill with oil as normal

With the plugs out, spin the motor on the starter till the oil light goes out

When I did my 650 top end, with the rocker cover off and the plugs out I spun it over gently on a battery drill.
