Bleeding my 2g lifters. Can I pull more than 1 at a time, or will that jack with timing/cam position? I have to be in class at 12:30 pm tomorrow. I plan on jumping in the car here in about 30 min after its cooled down.

If I pull the lifters and let soak over night, get up early (around 10 am) and take them out of the carb cleaner and reinstall, will that be sufficient?

I am in kind of a rush. There is a meet tomorrow night, and I will be attending. Just getting tired of the obnoxious lifters, and think it could be causing phantom knock.

Any advice? How many lifters can I pull at once to be safe? All 16? I plan to let it soak in carb cleaner atleast 12 hours, is that long enough?
 
True that.

Oh, hold up. I gotta good picture for you guys.

Noticed when I pulled this one it didnt look and feel like the rest. See the lip? Its kinda dented in with an abrasion of some sort.. hmm.

Think im going to grab a file and smooth it out before reinstalling.
That’sa big hole lifter.. the ones I took out of my 2g have the small SMALL holes.. folks are saying to upgrade to the 3G but not from a 3G car.. I’m lost here
