Naked Buell Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 So guys I am getting things in line and to be honest it only takes me about 15 minutes of reading on the Ej swaps and I am out in the garage trying to find something to work. Well I am getting the harness to the point of test firing before I start to install the harness knowing I am good to go. My question is, the engine is rebuilt, but I have not turned her over since the install of the engine components so I am wondering if I should squirt some oil down the spark plug holes and rotate by hand a couple of times before trying to crank? Any before cranking advice would to appreiciated. There is a lot of knowledge and experience on this site. Thx guys. Believe me, you guys are helping me do this swap more than you get credit for.

Numbchux Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I would definitely crank it until there is some oil pressure (oil light goes off, if hooked up, but even a multimeter to the oil switch can work temporarily) before allowing it to fire. I usually do this on my vehicles even just when changing the oil, unplug the coil and crank it until the light turns off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Buell Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hey thanks Numbchux. I have been reading your write-up, have it printed, over and over going through things to make sure I have it right. So I may be asking you some more questions and please be patient. I know you have done several of things and I always like asking someone who I know has done it successfully. Oh, and thx for the tip too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
