Sorta makes ya wonder what the factory did when installing engines on the line and firing for the first time. Surely they didn't crank the **** out of it killing the batteries repeatedly.

 

Thats exactly how they start for the first time. Only difference is they would prime the fuel systems... Oil systems are hard to do that with.

 

I wondered the exact same thing!! But we got it fired and it ran for 15 seconds then quit. Put the scanner on it and it said it was the cam sensor so we replaced it and it started rite back up. I'll put the rest of the front end on and drive it a little to make sure all the air bubbles is out of the cooling system and then it should be good to go. Thanks for the help and pointers from you guys and previous threads!!!
