[mk3concepts]

ok me and some friends just did our first engine swap on my friends 1987 supra NA.. basically a NAengine to a "running" NA engine, cuase the engine that he bought the car with had a blow headgasket. Ive heard people say we need to bleed the fuel before starting the car. thats where my question come is. how do we bleed the fuel??????

I guess just drain it from underneath the gas tank. Was the car sitting long?

Bleed the fuel? I'm lost.

You could jump the connectors on the diag block and let the fuel pump run and pressurize the rail, but I don't see a need for that.

You dont need to bleed it, When you 1st try to start it it will take a couple cranks before the pump gets fuel there. The pump wont come on till you start cranking.

i infact disagree with priming the fuel rail up at all. cranking over the motor a few times and building up oil pressure before you have detonations going off seems like a good idea to me.
