Hey Fellas , so I’m getting close to starting my 2.4L. I’ve read that the original 6 takes 9 quarts. Mine is slightly larger as stated. I want to start adding oil to the system. Not only to look for leaks but want to get some in the block so I can rotate her without fear of
scuffing up metal that shouldn’t. I know your supposed to check when hot and running. How much would you add at first. Any starting procedure tips. It is carbed and does NOT have a front cooler. Appreciate any insight and experience. Cheers, Dion Engine porn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

Thanks guys for all the tips! Ok, will go with the 8qt. and proceed with caution. Thanks Rory.
I don’t have any coolers other than one on engine. So no guessing on filling up extra hoses. Another question…related to starting a dormant engine. Do you fellas do anything particular with the carbs? Do you let the pump do its thing or do you add any fuel to the carbs bowls pre cranking? They are recently rebuilt Webers but were stored for 3 years, only receiving WD40 coating occasionally. Thanks again! |
