Hello
So I am getting closer to the power plant rebirth but now I am coming to the question of how to do it without knackering it back up again. Right now, I have the following in mind so please can my errors be corrected or any suggestions welcome. Both the engine and trans were removed and rebuilt.
1. Add engine oil with additive etc
2. Vaseline / long screwdriver drill combo into oil pump to thoroughly get oil around the parts, including rotating crank 180 deg by hand and repeating. Paying attention to having the drill going round the right way.
3. Add (say) 5 quarts of trans fluid
4. Remove spark plugs and rotate on starter for (say) 30 seconds. Check trans fuel level (from under the car - a pain). Refill. Filling the torque converter back up.
5. Repeat (4) above by (X) number of times and / or use (Y) time instead until (Z) amount of fluid has been put in ??????
5. Put plugs back in and start engine. Now follow camshaft break in procedure (specific RPMs)
6. Top up trans fluid?
7. Change engine oil when done
My main curiosity about this is running the cam break in period and whether the BW35 is even filled with fluid at this point. Or should the break in be interrupted to check trans fluid level and refill?
Thanks
Adrian
