32. Start engine and check for leaks.
33. Fill the cooling system surge tank to the FULL, COLD line and check for leaks after the engine has been road tested.
IMPORTANT: Allow the engine to idle for three to five minutes. If lifters are noisy or cylinders are mix-firing, warm the engine up at a low rpm
(less than 2,000). After the coolant temperature has reached approximately 85° C (185° F), cycle engine rpm from idle to 3,000 for approximately
10 minutes or drive the vehicle five minutes to purge the air. If the air cannot be purged, the faulty lifter(s) will have to be replaced.
34. Perform three mile road test and cycle engine under various loads.
35. Check for coolant and oil levels. Verify there are no leaks.
