[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 130639, member: 2708"] With the 1360 motor I slathered common VR1 20/50 oil on everything as it went together then clamped a large industrial duty angle drill onto the crankshaft via a shopmade Arbor piece. With the engine whirling over at 150 rpm, plugs out, it took quite awhile to see oil back at the tank, maybe 20 minutes or so. Somewhere in there I dumped more oil down the bores. Not going to glaze up without heat. Then it was a couple of kicks to fire it up. There was a bit of smoke for 20 seconds on that first start up and never any since. A large person can stand on the kicker for a very long time, the rings bedded in ok. Have read about the dry bed-in but wouldn't want to run the rings dry for however long it takes to get oil on the cylinders during the lube system prime with this method. Glen [/QUOTE]
