I understand that an engine should be pre lubed before the first start after a rebuild but if the mechanic that rebuilt the engine used whatever they use, some kind of grease on all the parts, wouldn't that be good enough? A friend of mine said that he has rebuilt a number of engines with the grease stuff and started them as is and never had an issue. It seems like a pain to do the pre lube if it's still greased up. But I don't want to waste 5k on a rebuild. Would pouring oil over the rockers and letting it drain down help some?

What's the condenser first? What foes it hook up to?

What's the condenser for? What does it hook up to?My thought is to hook up the gauge wire to the sending unit first without the condenser. If the gauge reading is inconsistent or fluctuates, then hook up the condenser. There are two terminals on the sending unit and I suspect one of them was for the condenser.

Ok. So the threads were screwed up on the sending unit. I tried to fix and rethread but only made it worse. Anyone know if there are other units that will work on this 317 lyb? It has a 1/2" npt thread. Or can I use an adapter for a unit with a 1/8" thread to get it to fit into the half inch hole?
