Oil Prime
Ensure proper lubrication within the head of the engine and throughout the valve train. This can be
done by removing the head covers. Prior to starting the engine, prime the oil system using a pre-lube
engine oiler tank. Fill oil filter with oil and install, then remove oil pressure switch and fit the correct
adapter for your pre-lube engine oiler. Ensure there is oil pressure prior to turning engine over. Check oil
level and for oil leaks from filter, oil coolers, oil filter adapters and fittings.
Fuel Prime
Turn ignition key to “on” position and leave it on the on position for 3-5 seconds, listen for fuel pump
priming. Turn ignition key to “off” position and wait approximately 3 seconds. Repeat this process 5
times. The fuel system should be pressurized now.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH or PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Before starting the engine:
Ensure transmission is in the neural position
Secure vehicle with the parking brake or wheel chuck
Start & Check
Once all other procedures above are complete turn engine over using the ignition key. Turn ignition key
to “on” position, listen for fuel pump priming, turn ignition key to “start” position and hold until motor
start or for 5 seconds maximum. Return key to “on” position and repeat a maximum of 5 times to start
engine. Once engine has started, listen for unusual noises such as engine knock or engine misfires. FEAD
drive belts may be noisy at first if tension is not correct or engine is very cold.
