Running an engine on an engine stand (1 Viewer)

[foxfab]

I know most of you don't venture into the restoration area so I thought I'd show ya the first run of my F120 on my restored engine stand. What a sense of relief!!!
The tech:

All an F engine needs to run is 12 volts to the coil and starter, some fuel, and some water


On to the video!!!

So you mean all that steel and glass that make up the rest of the truck aren't necessary for the engine to run? Who'da thunk.

Looks real Purrdy.

very impressive, it looks mint

Is it leaking oil yet?

 

[foxfab]

It probably will, it is an F120 after all

the valve cover actually has open unfiltered vents for the crank case fumes. No recirculating going on in this motor!!

Hopefully It doesn't after a sweet rebuild and all your hard work

Yep, I ran water out the back of the head (heater valve) to make sure there was good flow throughout the engine.

The paint plan is in true FJ25 fashion. The frame is the same color as the body. I had a sample panel of original paint and matched it up. It grows on ya
