new lifters bleed or not?

[lauj2gdsm]

ok.. i did some search.. on this question and got mixed opinions. i bought a used japan motor and im basically doing timing belt job, camshafts and new lifters. now do i need to bleed the new lifters or can i just bolt down the camshafts and it wil bleed it self, over next week? i read in a old post that it will bleed itself within 48hrs is this true? idk opinions appreciated.

Will they eventually bleed down?, that I can't tell you for sure but would I take the chane that they will?, no way. I'd much rather know their properly blead down, not like it takes alot of additional effort. Especially considering the possible damage if they don't happen to bleed down properly.

Not to mention it wouldn't hurt to properly clean and lubricate them anyway if they are used.

There's really no need to, since Mack did such a good job with it in this article:

ok.. i bled all of them. it wasnt even hard at all. now i can rest with comfort. i over torqued my cam caps due to a broken torque wrench but i did re torque them to spec. would that miss up my cam caps and the grooves? yo man i swear one thing after another.
