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)

@lesorubcheek Dan, thanks for the info. Engine has 20,000k miles on the rebuild.
It’s been sitting quietly, waiting for the past 5 yrs. to be awakened again. I’ve been hitting it with fogging oil and hand turning every month. So hopefully with all the excellent suggestions it’ll wake up appropriately. Hoping to do this soon. Thanks again! |
