The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop '52 216 -Startup after rebuild

I'VE ALWAYS TURNED THE ENGINE OVER RAPIDLY, WITH THE SPARK PLUGS
REMOVED, AND WATCHED THE OVERFLOW PIPE AT THE CENTER OF THE
ROCKER ARM SHAFTS AND HAD SOMEONE ELSE VERIFY OIL PRESSURE
ON THE DASH GUAGE. WHEN I WAS SATISFIED, I CRANKED IT A FEW
MORE SECONDS, AND CALLED IT GOOD. IT WILL THEN START UP
SAFELY AND QUIETLY, ASSUMING YOU HAVE THE ROCKER ARMS FAIRLY
WELL ADJUSTED.......
