List,
Finally got my engine and transmission installed on CF38690UO. The
engine fired right up, which always amazes me considering my lack of
mechanical skills. I ran the engine for 20 minutes at 2000 rpm, then
timed it at idle the best I could. I installed the Isky Z-19 cam and
I'm not sure exactly where it should be until I can road test it.
Question, should I change the straight 30w oil now, or wait until
I have 500 mi. on the engine? If I change the oil now, replace it with
my normal Castrol 20w50?
Another question. I was checking out the wiring for the o/d and
reverse lamps and while I got about 10v to the solenoid with the
trans. in 3rd or 4th, it didn't click. Seems like when I've done this
before, I could hear the solenoid energize. Does this mean my solenoid
is shot, or do I need to quit worrying and wait to see if it works
while the car is in operation?
TIA,
