Good Morning all.....So I am putting my 455 back together, however...different now, is a brand new TA timing cover and TA oil pump cover. From the oil cover, I am reusing my TA adjustable regulator. My question is, for initial start-up.....what do you guys do? The adjustable regulator is still adjusted for the engine prior with the black spring. I also have an orange spring. What do you all do for initial start-up to prevent either too little vital pressure, or too much pressure?
