10. FINAL ASSEMBLY AND CHECK
A. If your vehicle has gone over 20,000 miles
since its last spark plug change, it is a good
idea to change the spark plugs now, before
test-driving.
B. Make sure that oil drain and oil feed fittings
are tight and that the engine is filled with
factory specified oil.
C. Check all fittings, nuts, bolts and clamps for
tightness.
D. Make sure engine radiator and overflow
tank are filled with 50/50 coolant/water mix.
E. With key on, make sure charge air cooler
water pump is operating and that water is
flowing through the surge tank. Fill as nec-
essary. If water is not flowing, verify that the
hose from the CAC to the water reservoir
has no dips in it. Do not run the water pump
for extended periods (30 seconds or more)
without water flow.
F. Key off and key on the vehicle and verify
that each fuel injector is sealed to the fuel
rail and that no fuel is leaking.
G. Make sure that the vehicle is filled with 91
octane or higher fuel before commencing
test drive.
H. At this point it is OK to start the vehicle.
I. Turn off vehicle and recheck all fluid levels
and verify that no hoses, wires, etc. are
near exhaust headers or moving parts and
that there is no fluid leakage.
J. Test drive vehicle by gradually working up to
full throttle and paying close attention to any
abnormal sounds or engine detonation.
