lifters question

[awdtalon21]

i have 92 talon the head is bad on it, im gonna swap heads but i need to put my old lifters on. Do i need to compress the lifters to get the oil out of them?

They will need to be bled. Here's a vid I found on youtube. (note: this is not me or my video)

Damn.. That guy can climb trees with those fingernails..

 

[awdtalon21]

can it cause PK if you dont bleed them? Because i changed the head without bleeding them and i have crazy PK now

 

[Boostin2High]

Not to my knowledge, from what I thought the 3G lifter were supposed to stop all the PK and ticking, but I could DEF. be wrong..

As for PK, I'd be suprised if lifters caused it. The knock sensor isn't just listening for loud sounds and assuming they are all knock. If you whack the side of the block with a hammer, it makes a certain, characteristic ringing sound (like a not-so-good bell). The knock sensor is listening for that characteristic sound. You might want to read up on the threads discussing PK if you haven't already. The knock sensor might be dying, or it might be real knock.

Open it up and bleed them, then see if the problem goes away.
