Finished swap and then rolled it

Well you read it on other threads and hope it dosent happen but when its your fault it sucks. I just finished my swap in my 93 SAS and was messing around trying to do some doughnuts and flipped her. Hoping to find another cab and slap it on. Im near sequim, wa 98382 if anyone has or knows of one. Anyway i walked away without a scratch but my ego and feelings Shot. This sucks. What is the procedure in starting a rolled over engine. Landed on its drivers side , sat for probably 15 min untill it was on 4 wheels again. I havent tried starting it yet.

Oh man that sucks, but glad you're ok.

While I've never had the "fortune" of being anywhere near starting a rolled motor, at a minimum I would pull all the spark plugs for the first crank of the starter, not sure if there is anything else you need to do, maybe check all the fluid levels (oil, coolant, power steering, trans/transfer case, axles) in case any leaked out of any vents or caps?

roll it back over, give it about 30 minutes to an hour before starting it.

Should've asked before doing a donut in an SAS'd rig. I would've advised against it. no sways, and a lot of body roll will get you the result you got. ( I'd never do one in my 4Runner, that's for sure )
