Well, I'm finally ready to start the B (67 MGB GT to be exact).
Everything on this car is either brand new or reconditioned. I'm
wondering, though, what's the process/procedure for starting (or
attempting to start) a brand new motor? It cranks over just fine, but
I remember a thread a while back about priming the oil pump and
getting the oil pressure to come up before really attempting to start
it. I even remember something about removing the distributor and
spinning the oil pump directly. What is the procedure for doing this?
While I'm on the topic of distributor, what's the best way to rough it
in (and make sure the plug wires are connected properly)?
Finally, after filling the motor with fluids, I discovered two leaks:
one around the valve cover (easy to fix) and the other from one of the
brand new freeze plugs! Anyone ever changed a freeze plug while the
motor is in the car?
Any and all information greatly appreciated
