Iv gone over a couple post, I’m sure this topic has been talked about a lot. I’m at the end of my journey with this project Iv been on for the last 8 months. I bought the car about 10 months ago from a guy 10 hours away. Driving the car home everything seemed fine till about the last 2 hours. A rod started knocking and I knew then It was time for a rebuild.
I wanted to go back to stock application so no crazy mods
New parts
Pistons
rods
Main and rod king Bearings 10 over
Crank turned 10/10
Oem main bolts
Arp head bolts
All new gaskets from top to bottom
New clutch and resurfaced flywheel
New water pump
New oil pump with balance shaft delete ( I did my homework )
All new belts and timed correctly.
The only thing upgraded was the Internals with forged parts. Everything else was oem.
I did the charcoal can delete, plugged all the lines and vented the return.
My biggest concern is starting a new build. Iv dropped some oil in the cylinders so it won’t be completely dry. Iv dissconnected the injectors. can I prime the engine like this? With just the starter turning it over?
Also on the harness i have a couple plugs that idk about
Thank you in advanced to anyone willing to come answer some questions for me.
