Starting at the bottom of each page and working toward the top of each page, go back through and perform all of the "Reassembly" instructions on Page 5, then 3, then 2, then 1. Make sure the drain plug is on the oil pan and that there is adequate oil in the engine (since an oil change should have been done if the PCV system was changed out or cleaned out). When doing mine, I waited until I was "about to start the engine" to refill with new oil, since the whole valve train had been removed, cleaned, etc. and did not really have any lubrication in there aside from the grease I applied. I poured fresh oil in and fired it right up within a minute of putting the oil cap back on. Stand back and admire a job well done! Now go wash up with some of my HOMEMADE SOAP.
