My 05 CR has been sitting in the shop for over 2 years without being run while I work on it when time allows. :doh: I installed a new cam, push rods, springs, injectors, did some trans work, axle work, trans cooler, other misc work.
For an engine that's sat this long, what should I consider upon first fire??
Plan to unplug injectors and crank until I see oil pressure. Plug in injectors, run for couple minutes, change oil. Break in cam without coolant in engine, change oil, add coolant, check for leaks everywhere.
Diesel in the tank has been treated, but is 2 year old.
