RE: How much slop is in them after tighten?
By RC Moser - 06/24/2001 3:51:12 PM; IP 205.188.199.22
Only thing you can do is start it up with the valve covers of and watch them. If they don't spin write down which ones don't and start swapping or replace them with new ones, Hopefully you won't have any that don't rotate. also, watch the oil flow, usually make a mess a old towel or cardboard deflector around the bottom of the head will reduce the amount of oil getting on the exhaust. Can't stop it completely. Remember a little oil makes alot of smoke so don't be alarmed it mosquito's start dropping like flies if you get my meaning. To prime the oil system you will proabably have to remove the dist. either have a old dist shaft that you can hook a drill up to to spin it fast enough to make the oil flow ( or you could try to squirt some oil down the pushrod hole directly onto the lifters maybe it will fill or remove any air by pushing on the pushrod working the lifter) . Unless you have a real sloppy pushrod after tighten it will probably be OK to just start it. Most will through the lifters in a can of oil while removed, this keeps them primed till installation. I have dissassembled new ones and put oil in them then worked them with a phillips screw driver to ensure they were pumped up. But, dropping them in a can of fresh clean oil for a while does the trick. , if they don't work just replace them, as somebody said only a few more dollars. Hope this help's, RC
