last things to do before start up

Ok I have been working on rebuilding the car after a fire and learning more then I ever thought I could. lol anyway I’m scared that I might have forgotten something before I turn the key. I guess you could just called me paranoid. I don’t have a drive shaft yet so I don’t need to worry about driving it around, just starting up the beast. I have oil, coolant, anything else. I don’t want watch it blow up because of something stupid I forgot.

After it has idled for maybe 30 minutes, do an initial compression check.
It will be low until you finish the break in period, but it should be even.

Congratulations..
