roller lifters

[87TIGN]

When I did my roller lifters I let them soak in oil for a day or so than I took a screwdriver and pumped them up, most of them only took a pump or too before they became stiff. However some were a little softer than the others and would not get really stiff (still could pump them a little) is this ok?

you should be ok the oil press. once it builds will force all of the air out of the lifters.

Not trying to insult your intelligence, but ...... use an old push rod instead of the screw driver. The last thing you want is to nick/scratch the contact area. Good luck with your build-up!

yeah I used a screwdriver for about two of them cause a buddy told me to do that and I got to thinking about it and was like this isnt such a great idea so i used some of my new pushrods to do the rest!! haha
