Priming the oil pump and break in ?'s
I already have the head bolted to the new block and torqued down. The turbo, exh mani, intake mani, and such were all attached so that is taken care of. My main question is that I was told to prime the oil pump prior to starting the motor. I managed to forget exactly what I was supposed to do inorder to get that done. Do I just spin the oil pump gear with everything hooked up and wait until I see oil come out of the head, or do I do the timing belt and then spin the crankshaft?
Also I have heard a few suggestions on break in procedure on a new motor, and would like to get a few more. The one I have thought would work the best for me is vac pulls for the first 50-100 miles with straight 30w oil for the first 500 with changes at 50, 100, and 500. Low boost, not too much fuel and then after 500 miles start the fun. Any other personal methods out there? I just want to make sure this motor is taken care of as I am not rich enough to buy another built motor if something goes wrong.
In case it matters:
6 Bolt Block
9.5:1 JE's 20 over (used, supposedly once were Jet's)
New Eagle H-Beams
Kings bearings
Machined at Wags (QPR treatment except not torque plated)
QPR style b-shaft removal
New front case, oil pump, water pump, etc.
New Timing belt and components.
Thanks in advance!
