Will next week end I plan on firing up my project for the first time!
! I have read several articles on line about how to do it (other than turning the key). Do folks here recommend pre priming the oil lines and system by removing the dizzy and hooking up a drill to the oil pump (one article recommended turning the Engine 1/4 turn and prime betwwen each 1/4 turn for two full turns)? One article suggested plain water so if you have a leak into oil less damage will be done than with antifreeze. What about "break in" oil like royal purple break in? Monster miata had a pretty simple idea, fill fluids (30 weight motor oil, change twice once after brief run and once after a few miles), turn on check for leaks, drive! Just trying to get some thoughts.
I really enjoy the support I find on this forum. Thanks much
