Warning: Before starting the engine for the first time, have a fire extinguisher ready.
1. After completing engine assembly, double check the oil and coolant levels.
2. With the spark plugs removed and the ignition system and fuel pump disconnected, turn the crankshaft until the oil pressure is registered by the sensor or until the oil pressure indicator lamp goes out.
3. Screw in the spark plugs, put on the high-voltage wire tips and turn on the ignition system and fuel pump.
4. Start the engine. The engine should start immediately, after a short period of time to allow the pressure in the fuel system to build up.
5. After starting, warm up the engine to operating temperature. As the engine warms up, watch carefully for any oil or coolant leaks.
6. Stop the engine and check the oil and coolant levels.

7. Drive in a lightly trafficked area, accelerate the car from 50 km/h to 90 km/h, then release the throttle pedal, braking the car with the engine to 50 km/h. Repeat the cycle 10-12 times. This will allow the piston rings to become acclimated to the cylinder walls. Check the oil and coolant levels again.
8. Take a 900 km trip without putting too much stress on the engine (move at low speed), periodically checking the oil level. Increased oil consumption is possible during the running-in period.
9. After 900-1100 km, change the oil and oil filter.
10. For the next few hundred kilometers, drive the car normally, avoiding too much or too little load.
11. After 3600 km of running, change the oil and oil filter again, after which the engine is considered to have been run in.
