Tech Question
Norman Connor, Midland, ON, Canada, 1969 Dodge Dart GTS 6.1 L
I am in the midst of installing a 6.1 Hemi in my 1969 Dart. I bought the
engine as a crate motor from Galeana Chrysler in 2007. My question is as
follows: since the engine has not been run for over a year, what should be
done? I can't spin the oil pump like usual since it is driven off the crank
nose.What to do? Also, do you know if these engines are run enough to seat
the rings at the factory? They call for Mobil Synthetic oil for general use
and I am concerned about ring seating.
Thanks for your help.
Norman-
Just be sure the oil filter is full and it will be fine. No priming needed.
While the rings are not seated, they WILL seat in 2-3 miles. The wall finish is such that they will seat with synthetic oil
