[Diy_efi] Nissan engine

[mark krawczuk]

hi, that sounds about right,  put  some oil in the cylinders, and crank over 
by hand, then  after a bit try it with the starter  to force a bit more  oil 
round the rings.

wight have to   push a rag  down  the spark plug hole to  try an get any 
excess oil , so that it will be easier to start..
