I’ve bled down my lifters for years using various solvents, oils, ultrasonic cleaner, etc. Went to install a set of new gsc lifters today and noticed that their install sheet said something quite the opposite of the standard procedure I’ve used for 10+ years now.
It really seems like you’re doing the opposite of bleeding the lifters if you’re replacing the air with oil. I fail to see the purpose of releasing the plunger and purging the oil just to replace it with more oil which will retain the lifter at max height on startup conditions. Anyone care to comment?
