1. Check that the battery is well charged, the fuel tank is full, and the engine is filled with oil and coolant.
2. If you disassembled the fuel system, you will need to crank the engine several times with the starter so that the fuel reaches the carburetor.
3. After the engine starts, bring it to fast idle speed to normal operating temperature. At first, until the oil pressure in the hydraulic tappets reaches the required value, they may make a little noise.
4. As the engine warms up, strange odors and smoke are possible from the burnout of the lubricants used during installation. Inspect the engine for water or oil leaks. Also inspect the junction of the exhaust pipe with the manifold, because here you will most likely need to tighten the bolts (performed after the engine is turned off).
5. Upon reaching normal operating temperature, adjust idle speed (see chapter 3) and check the ignition timing (see chapter 4). After turning off the engine, perform the final tightening of the cylinder head bolts (see Specifications and section 8).
6. Stop the engine and wait a few minutes to check for oil or coolant leakage from a stationary engine.
7. Take a test drive to check the correct ignition adjustment and engine operation. Do not overload the engine - when installing new bearings and (or) pistons should be driven at a reduced speed for the first 800 km. At first, the valves may knock a little while the hydraulic tappets fill with oil.
8. On models with an automatic transmission, pay special attention to checking the fluid level in the box (see chapter 6).
