I will assume the engine is built properly and has adequate builders lube on all parts prior to build.
Disconnect injectors from harness
Pull out all spark plugs
**ENSURE THERE IS OIL IN THE ENGINE**
**ENSURE THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED**
Crank over engine for 5 seconds
Stop and wait for 1 second
Crank over engine for 8 seconds
Stop and wait for 2 seconds and repeat the crank and pause procedure for 5 more repetitions.
There are many other methods... the one above works fine for a brand new build.
