a new engine
I prime the filter with oil fully and fastly spin it on to spec torque (turns counted from hit per box lid of filter came with)
I defeat spark, pull distributor side DC lower plug. (this act also kills injectors. too, no flooding of fuel)
next with oil pressure gauge in place of oil idiot lamp switch, left center block,
I crank for 50psi pressure, (cold oil hits max) https://www.fixkick.com/engine/97-motor-...ge_53.html
then off the valve cover
and crank again until all cam bearings show TOP END OIL FLOW, if not, STOP fix that first. (do not run any engine failing at least THIS TEST) or go broke fast.
