OK I'm tired of waiting on my "friend" to give me a hand getting my engine running for the first time so I'm forced to try it myself. I've never done this before so I was hoping for help from someone with experience but oh well. I'd like to use this thread to post questions for when I get stuck or confused. Thanks in advance for any help!

I've got an A14 rebuilt with dual Hitachis "SU" carbs installed. I haven't cranked it up yet.

OK #1 I didn't fully torque the main bolt when I assembled it. They guy helping me said we shoudl torque it fully later (don't ask me why). So my question is, will engaging the clutch hold the engine enough to fully torque it to spec or is there some other way to hold it? My engine is fully assembled and installed.

#2, I need to fill the clutch fluid. Can someone give me a simple step by step? My manual left me a little confused. Do I just fill the resorvoir and bleed it at the slave, and then fill again? Is some pumping of the clutch pedal required?

#3 What is the recommended fluid for the dampers in the dual Hitachi carbs? None of my manuals mention the SU's of course since they weren't OE on my 210. I've heard somewhere that sewing machine oil is the proper weight???
