hoppy Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Just refitted a rebuilt engine into my jeep, apart from the obvious oil level, coolant, priming the fuel what tips or pointers should I look for for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scammell4199 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Think you've got it pretty well covered. I think the main thing to look at when it fires is the oil pressure to make sure it comes up. Good luck, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big ray Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Hi, have fun when you do go out................. dont rev it hard, and dont labour it...... just keep your foot a little light on the throttle. After 500 miles change the oil, you might as well leave the sign in the back, they will still just have to pass you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppy Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Finally up and running........................ sounds sweet as a nut one or two little issues to put right; coolant leak from thermostat, idling a bit to high oil pressure seems to be a bit low even after top up but did replace oil filter as part of the refit process and a great run out this afternoon, screen down mouth full of bugs!
