Re: Engine installation -- order of operations?
It's total personal preference, but I stay away from the hoses that drain the oil from the drain plug. I'm always afraid that something could happen, the hose could puncture or come loose, etc, and then you're left with at best a mess and at worst a blown engine and a tow-in, or worse yet a bilge fire fueled by 5 quarts of burning oil. It's just as easy to use a pump to drain the engine oil through the dipstick hole I think. <br /><br />Corrosion inhibitor is always a good idea.
