Starting and running in the engine after major repairs (Taurus 1 and 2)

1. After installing the engine in the vehicle, check the oil and coolant levels again.

2. After removing the spark plugs and turning off the ignition system (see section 2), turn the engine until the gauge or light shows the presence of oil pressure.

3. Install the spark plugs, connect the wires, check the ignition system.

4. Start the engine. It should start relatively easily, although it will take some time for the gasoline to reach the injector.

5. Allow it to warm up to normal operating temperature. After the engine has warmed up, carefully check for possible oil and coolant leaks.

6. Turn off the engine, recheck the oil and coolant levels.

7. Drive the car on a road with minimal traffic. Accelerate at full throttle to 48 to 80 km/h (30 to 50 mph), then release the throttle completely, allowing the speed to drop back to 48 km/h (30 mph). Repeat this procedure 10-12 times. This will give the piston rings a good load and allow them to rub against the cylinder walls. Check again for oil and coolant leaks.

8. Drive the car as carefully as possible for the first 800 km (500 miles) (high speeds are not recommended) and check the oil regularly. During the engine break-in period, there is usually a high oil consumption.

9. At approximately 800-965 km (500-600 miles) change the oil and filter.

10. Drive normally for the next few hundred miles.

11. After 3218 km (2000 miles), change the oil and filter again, consider the engine fully broken in.
