Jan Attenstedt and Nigel Calder discuss the procedure for starting a CAT 3054B diesel engine that has remained in indoor storage for several years.0:15 The owner has already replaced the antifreeze, engine oil, primary fuel filter, and secondary fuel filter, and confirmed that the rocker cover components remain coated in oil.0:29 Calder advises that without a pre-lube pump installed to circulate oil through the bearings before ignition, the only practical option is to crank the engine and let it idle.1:03 He notes that oil pressure typically builds within one or two seconds, which is sufficient to fill the new oil filter and distribute lubricant throughout the system.1:08 Calder dismisses the concern that leaving the old oil filter in place would have provided better protection, explaining that every oil change involves a brief period of low pressure.1:46 The engine will sustain no damage from this short startup delay.
