BDR #101 took a front end hit from a Phoenix trash truck back in May. Reg ordered a new front end that is now on the Cobra and all looks great! I am re-installing the
oil cooler, radiator, sidepipes, etc. Upon completion, I do not want to start the engine without
oil throughout the system. I feel I can fill the
oil cooler, filter, engine and lines upon installation and crank the engine for about 10 seconds (coil wire removed) to insure oil is distributed throughout the engine prior to start-up. Is this an OK procedure?
Reg suggested that I take out the distributor and crank the engine until I see oil returns. This seems like extra work!
Is there an established procedure? Any professional advice?
By the way, my insurance settlement was lucrative!
