how did you bleed the lifters?

I thought once you get air inside them, you have to buy new ones?

PM'd you

You put them in a cup of oil and pump the lifter till all the air bubbles are gone and you will feel the pressure build in them .

***CrimsonRockett*** · 06-20-2008, 07:09 PM

Super nice.

Your brother is definitely in for a nice surprise.

If you need paint, let me know.
