Assuming you liberally soaked the assembly when putting it together, it is fine. I would use a squirt/pump type oil can and a small hose to prime the oil system in the oil pressure fitting hole to assure rapid oil pressure, but that is it. Run the engine at various speeds and loads (no single speed for more than 5 minutes) and for the first two hours, no full load, maybe up to 60% then right back to less. After 2 hrs, begin using the full range of power, and speed, but again do not try to pull tillage equip for extended times. after 15 hrs, change the oil (I recommend 15-40 Rotella or RPM Delo) or if way north, 10-40 summer, and 10-30 winter. Synthetics are good after breakin at 15 hrs, do not use 5 wt oils, synthetic or regular. Best of luck, JimN
