Start-up and Break-in Procedures
Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1® specification of the proper SAE viscosity grade. AC Delco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. For track
events or competitive driving, use Mobil 1® 15W-50 engine oil.
Safety first, if the vehicle is on the ground, be sure the park brake is set, the wheels are chocked, and the car cannot fall into gear. Verify
everything is installed properly and nothing was missed.
1. This engine assembly may need to be filled with oil. After installing the engine, ensure the crankcase has been filled with the appropriate
motor oil to the recommended oil fill level on the dipstick. This crate engine requires a special oil meeting dexos1. Also check and fill as
required any other necessary fluids such as coolant, power steering fluid, etc.
If the engine has oil, then it is primed. If the engine is dry or the oil pan has been replaced, then the engine needs to have the oiling system
primed.
J45299 Engine Preluber
a. Remove the engine oil filter and fill with clean engine oil.
b. Install the oil filter and tighten.
c. Locate and remove the engine block left front oil gallery plug
d. Install the flexible hose to the adapter and open the valve.
e. Pump the handle on the J45299 preluber in order to flow a minimum of 1-1.9 liters (1-2 quarts) engine oil. Observe the flow of engine oil through
the flexible hose and into the engine assembly. The engine will be primed after a small amount of pressure change is seen on the in car oil
pressure gauge while pumping J45299
f. Close the valve and remove the flexible hose and adapter from the engine.
g. Apply approved thread sealer and Install the oil gallery plug to the engine and tighten to 60 N•m (44 lb ft). Top-off the engine oilto the proper level.

ENGINE OIL PRIMING)
2. In the absence of a preluber kit, the following process can be used. Disconnect the fuel and disconnect the ignition control system
(removing power from the ignition control module is generally recommended but check your ignition control system information for
additional details). Note: Removal of the spark plugs will allow the engine to spin faster and build oil pressure faster.
3. Once the ignition control system has been disconnected, crank the engine using the starter for 10 seconds and check for oil pressure. If no
pressure is indicated, wait 30 seconds and crank again for 10 seconds.
4. Repeat this process until oil pressure is indicated on the gauge.
5. Reconnect the ignition control system. Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises. If no unusual noises are noted, run the engine at
approximately 1000 RPM until normal operating temperature is reached.
6. When possible, you should always allow the engine to warm up prior to driving. It is a good practice to allow the oil sump and water
temperature to reach 180°F before towing heavy loads or performing hard acceleration runs.
7. The engine should be driven at varying loads and conditions for the first 30 miles or one hour without wide open throttle (WOT)or sustained high
RPM accelerations.
