[Healeys] Engine start procedure

[Alan Seigrist]

Tadek - sorry should have clarified that idle should be set at 1,500
rpm for first start up.  My email was confusing. Hope you used cam /
tappet lube/paste with high Zinc content - critical for proper bedding
in.  Chris Dimmock's suggestion for bleeding oil pressure guage is a
good one!
