Re: New to the Blue Bird
put a socket and rachet on thebig bolt in the front of the crankshaft and turn the engine over by hand at least 2 complete revolutions before you try to crank it over with the starter, make sure all of the fluids are full- engine, radiator, transmission etc. disable the ignition and crank the engine with the starter until you have oil pressure and then start the engine and let it warm up good at a steady high idle while continueing to monitor temps and fluid levels closely, also look for leaks, if it checks out ok, trty the brakes and then the transmission. try to move it back and forth, take it for a drive.
