Anyone have any pointers, tips, or suggestions when starting up a swapped engine for the first time? It is a D16Z6 into a 93 DX coupe.

 

put about a tablespoon of marvel mystery oil down each cylinder;
leave the plugs out and turn it over by hand;
with the plugs still out, turn it over with the key;
put the plugs in and try to start it; do not be alarmed if a lot of white smoke comes out at first - (it is the marvel mystery oil)

 

Just make sure everythings lubed up good, within the engine.

 

i would crank it with the spark plugs out to build up oil pressure so you dont dry start it if its been setting for a while

 

Thanks for the input,...this was exactly what information I was looking for.
