Attention! Keep a fire extinguisher handy when starting the engine for the first time.
1. After installing the engine on the vehicle, check the oil and coolant levels again.
2. While the candles are turned out, the fuel pump and the ignition system are turned off (see paragraph 3), crank the engine over with the starter until the indicator shows oil pressure or until the warning light goes out,
3. Screw in the candles, attach high-voltage wires to them, restore the functions of the fuel pump and the ignition system.
4. Start the engine. It may not start immediately as the pump will take some time to prime the system and restore operating pressure.
5. After starting the engine, allow it to warm up to normal operating temperature at idle. While the engine is warming up, carefully inspect it from all sides for fuel, oil, and coolant leaks.
6. Stop the engine and recheck the oil and coolant levels.
7. Take the car to the road with light traffic. Accelerate the car from 50 to 80 km / h, then slow down again to 50 km / h by closing the throttle. Repeat this procedure 10-12 times. This will load the piston rings and help them take their jobs. Check again for leaks.
8. For the first 800 km after repair, try not to overload the engine, avoid sudden acceleration and do not drive at maximum speed. Regularly check the oil level and add it as necessary - during running-in, its increased consumption is possible.
9. After a run of approximately 800 to 1000 km, change the oil and filter.
10. The next few hundred kilometers can be driven normally. The engine may not be treated so gently, but it should not be overloaded too much.
11. After 3000 km, change the oil and filter again. After that, the running-in process can be considered completed.
