1. Install the remaining engine components in the order shown in Chapter 11 of this Section. Install the engine in the vehicle as described in Chapter 4. Check engine oil and coolant levels and recheck that all wires and hoses are connected. Make sure that no tools or rags are left in the engine compartment.
2. Disconnect the fuel cutoff valve wire at the high pressure fuel pump (see Section 3A).
3. Turn the crankshaft with the starter until the oil pressure warning lamp goes out.
4. If the lamp does not go out after a few seconds of cranking, check the engine oil level and the oil filter is secure. If everything is in order, check the oil pressure sensor wiring. Do not take any further action until you are sure that the oil is being supplied to the engine at sufficient pressure.
5. Connect the fuel cutoff valve wire.
6. Start the engine. It may take a few seconds for the fuel system to pressurize, but the engine should start easily.
7. After allowing the engine to idle, check for fuel, coolant, and oil leaks. When starting for the first time, smoke and a burning smell may appear due to the grease burning out.
8. Let the engine idle until hot coolant flows through the top hose.
9. Check injection timing and idle speed as described in Section 3A.
10. After waiting a few minutes, recheck the oil and coolant levels and top up if necessary.
11. Tighten the cylinder head bolts
12. If new pistons, rings or crankshaft bearings have been installed, the engine needs a break-in. For the first 1000 km, do not turn on full throttle and do not overload the engine at low speeds. In the heat of the break-in, it is recommended to change the oil and filter.
