89 starting issue
#2
Welcome, Hoffy and thanks.!
1.6L EFI?
oops , this is a total 89 EFI motor swap into a 93 body oops.
that be different.

the first test with any motor work, is to validate compression.
that way , you know you did all the steps, right.
on motor major work , i always.
1: check compression.
2: and crank the motor with oil pressure gauge, attached, and get 50psi with cold 10w-30 oil.
3: then check top end oiling, after first start ( the head glasket Felpro is marked TOP , the china clones are not, if upside down you lose all oil to the head
and it burns up. , i never skip these tests.

the after lash set and cam timing , i then time the dizzy last. (use a real spark plug to test spark quality, a timing light only check TIME)
once I have my 155psi compression, WOT,?
I start the motor on test fuel with the fuel pump relay pulled .
I do that, to hear the motor run and to hear that it is not making horrid sounds. (saves lots of engines)

then, last I connect the fuel pump relay and and fire it up.
with the Valve cover off, and look for top end oiling, if fail. cut the key and fix top end oiling.

total motor build (general)
but step 29 applies to any head swap. the head has a 0.050" (50 thou) orifice, it must not be blocked. (either of the 2 ways)
