What about them has you concerned?

 

[willdinguis]

i need to bleed them because they are hard so i wanna no what i should use to help clean them becuase they are rock hard right now

Soak them in mineral spirits for an hour or two. next bleed the mineral spirits out of them and then soak them in oil for a few hours and then bleed them again. then you can drop them in.

Lifter VFAQ

This VFAQ shows you two different ways to clean and check them. Its also a good idea to consider getting a set of the 3g "revised" lifters to get rid of that annoying lifter tick.

have you done a compression test?

Your grammar needs improvement.

If you didn't bleed the lifters before reinstalling them and running the engine, you very likely have several bent valves.

After they're bled and reinstalled, you can prime them by pulling the MPI fuse and cranking the engine over a few times. Otherwise they will be noisy for a few seconds and there's a bigger chance that a rocker may get kicked off.

That was going to be my next question for him but he has yet to answer my first question.

i did a test and one and two were ok and the block is rebuit and the head was to but the timing was off then was fixed right after but the lifters where hard when i took them out and i never did bleed them..... im just trying to see why it would keep doing it this three and four had nothing at all it was 0 compression

How did you do the compression test? did you take the spark plug out then put the tester in there and turn it over a few times?........If you did you probably have some bent valves due to you running it with hard lifters instead of bleeding them.

I seem to be saying this about once a day for some reason, but do a leak-down test.
