I'm getting close (a relative term) to starting my motor for the first time. It is a stock 2.0 with Raby 9590 valve train. I know the easiest thing to do is put it in the car and start, but I have a running engine in the car now and I suspect I'll have to fix something after a try to start it. Here are my questions:
1) I have a spare transmission with starter. Can I start the engine without a clutch on the flywheel? 2) Can I start the engine without the alternator installed? 3) Without a charging system, can I use a car battery to power the coil and D-Jet for the break-in period (assuming I get that far) or will the battery die before then? 4) If I can't use a car battery to power the ignition and D-Jet, how big a power supply will I need? |
