What would you guys recommend on a new engine startup? No water and a short run to warm, then cool and retorque heads, or with water, or with an antifreeze? Would you recommend any block sealer added at startup, and if so what kind? This engine was completely gone through, but sat as the body work was done, would you recommend fogging cylinders etc before cranking? Ok, let me have it.
