Hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question.
But I am getting close to having all the work done and parts needed before I assemble the motor,bolt on converter and trans.and install it in the truck.
Thought I would ask for a few suggestions about how long to let it sit in the truck before final bolt on's and starting it.
Do you schedule or arrange it so you can start it soon after final assembly or do you sometimes wait a month or longer?
I ask due to lube/oil run-off of cylinder walls,bearings drying off,cam drying,etc., or do you always pre-lube with a drill?
I always 'over do it' with lube,STP,and oil but this one may have to sit a month or so before starting.
