I'm about to start my Land Rover Series 3 Diesel after a major overhaul. It has had a rebore and the engine has been completely disassembled and reassembled.
I think i've done the obvious but I want to know if there are some important things (engine wreckers) to check before turning the key and what I should look for as good and bad signs when it gets running.
One thing i'm especially worried about is oil delivery. Can I reliably check that oil is getting around the engine? Would oil in the rocker gallery be something to check to ensure it is flowing properly? Obviously oil light going off is a good clue but i'm working with 35year old electrics.
As you might be able to tell, i'm a little nervous. I need some of that supportive energy from you guys.
