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) |

Hey Dion
From empty I'd put in eight quarts and crank it with plugs out till you see the oil pressure light go out. Crank it once or twice more till light goes out each time. Install plugs and start engine. Add oil at idle until it touches the dipstick. Allow engine to reach operating temperature. At operating temp, at idle, on flat ground add oil untill it reads half way between the bottom line and top line on the dipstick. Done. Looking good, keep up the good work. Rory |
