Question About Starting A DD

[Canuck Dennis]

I understood that the primary reason for the no fuel roll over ,was then to wait 5-10 mins and let the heat equalize between bore liner and rings as well as helping with initial lube oil.

Rolling it long enough to get oil pressure to the sender is going to take a while (the point where you'll see pressure.) The only time I do something like that is after I change a turbo (where it IS important to avoid a dry bearing start that can destroy the turbocharger.)

Should have said transmissions oil pressure, which is more evident than the engine oil pressure. The trannies pressure comes up quicker...
