Advise on how to start motor for the first time
Got my motor in my car and was wondering what everyone does for a new motor first start up.
I got oil in it and turned the crank with a breaker bar a few time and disabled the clutch switch so I don't put pressure on the crank during first start also. What else is there to do so those doesn't go wrong. Thanks for any info guys and sorry if its been posted but I couldn't find anything

Are you using synthetic or dinosaur oil? When I broke in my LS1, I used non-synthetic to break in the rings. I ran it gently for the first few hundred miles and tried to keep from staying at one RPM range. (in other words, use a wide variety of RPM ranges) Drive around at different speeds at different RPMs. There are different schools of thought on break-in procedures, but this was the old-school way.

Oh, I see. The most important thing to do is to prime the oil pump. Not sure how this is done on the Evo. Bu that is really all you need to worry about is that the engine is getting oil. On the LS1, I had an oil pump port where you could hand-pump oil to prime the pump. Good luck!
