I have the rebuilt head back on my 1967 Mustang 200 six engine. Have everything all hooked up and basically am ready to fire it up.
I pulled the head off because my valve guides were shot and oil was being sucked down into the cylinders and fouling out my plugs right away. Now I have new guides, new intake valves and positive stop oil seals. There was no blown head gasket or anything like that.
I'm thinking I should start the engine and let it run for 10 minutes or so and then change the oil? Or should I change it before starting it?
I did change the oil not long before I realized I needed to pull the head if that makes any difference.
Any opinions appreciated. Planning to get it started tomorrow so got to decide what is best. Thanks
