I just started my Reman about 5 days ago.

As I'm sure you already know, but in case you don't...

Make sure you unplug your coil harness, and run the fuel lines into a can of some sort to drain the "bad" gas into. Also have your oil filter off, when you see oil come up into the oil filter "ring," then you're ready to start it.

Good Luck, and let us know how it goes.
