Dry Sump - Part 3 - Startup Procedure

I've noted the start up procedure that Pace gave me over the phone here as at least this way I'll be able to find it when the time comes.

1. Check all hoses, bolts and unions for tightness.
2. Clean dry sump tank to ensure no manufacturing debris will be introduced into the oil.
3. Fill dry sump tank until level with top baffle
4. Wind out oil pressure adjuster on the Pace pump until the spring tension is released. Do not completely remove.
5. Wind the pressure adjuster back in 5-6 complete turns from the point when the spring pressure is felt.
6. Turn over engine with starter motor ensuring that plugs are out or that ignition is disconnected so that the engine cannot fire.
7. Oil pressure should be seen immediately, if not check instrumentation
   Check oil level in dry sump tank and refill to top baffle if necessary
8. Wind engine on starter with plugs out for a further 10-15 secs to distribute oil.
9. Recheck, & refill tank to just below top baffle.
10. Check all hoses and joints for leaks.
11. Refit plugs enable ignition and start engine.
12. Run for 30 secs, stop immediately if oil pressure fails or warning lights come on. Note oil pressure at idle.
13. Stop and check oil level (1 inch below baffle), hoses and unions adjust oil pressure if necessary
14. Run engine and allow to run up to normal temperature, if necessary adjust oil pressure so that hot idle runs at 22-28 PSI.
15. When happy with oil pressure use locknut to lock pressure control valve in place.
16. When running the oil level in the tank should be approximately 1 inch below the top baffle.
