I have installed a new engine in my 83.5 westy and now have to add coolant.The system is now totally drained and flushed.  Procedure for adding coolant in Bentley has me running the van at 2000 rpm etc.. etc.. Is there no harm to the engine starting it up dry? Does the water pump circulate the coolant so fast as to make my concerns moot? I would appreciate any comments that would make me feel more comfortable tomorrow when I fire it up. Hope I don't come across as completely anal, but I have many hours sunk into this and want to take no chances. Thanks very much. Jim
