i have been reading the owners manual and it says that the lifters have diesel inside of them is this true?

so if you reinstall lifters you must leave the diesel they bring?
also if you buy them new do they bring diesel from the factory or do you have to put diesel inside of them?

iam so mad how come they dont have these instruccions on the cam install section it says to bleed them but not to reinstall diesel fuel to them no wonder a lot of people have ticking noise .

here is a copy of what i found on the owners manual:

No your wrong....read #8 thru #10, it clearly says the diesel fuel stays INSIDE the lash adjuster. You use the diesel in containers A and B for cleaning, and C is for filing uncontaminated diesel back into the plunger.

Never knew that....need a special tool too...interesting

Wow, this is interesting
after i did my install of course lol

I would think that of all the people who've done cam installs on here that if this was a make or break proceedure it would've caused some problems to surface already

no buddy you read it closer then
it says they need to be filled and left with diesel just read the last step which is #10

they should have this instrucciones on the cam install thread up above.

i wonder if all this people with this ticking noises are cause they did the camshaft install all wrong
i have this ticking noise during warmup and i hate it iam gonna get the jamm lifters next month and see what happens

The special tool looks kinda like a paper clip to me.

Liqquid

lol, yea... again, wish I would've got my hands on this before the install.... I may have pushed too hard lol

No ticking for me yet, 475 miles so far

yeah i hope someone in hear responds to this cause if not then a lot of evos out there that have cams have not done this and maybe thats why people say yes i bleeded the lifters but i still got the ticking noise or vice versa i just hope things clear out and as for evomoto and for the cam instalation instrucciones up top they must change them out.
i just hope i would have known this before.

ill keep bumping this thread until someone clearly gives an opinion on this

i don't see the need for diesel, clean engine oil should do it without any issues

mitsu says diesel not engine oil.

If im not mistaken the diesel fuel is for cleaning them. I had the same questions and i called Carmella at Jackson Machine Shop and she said to bleed them dry and install them. But that was the JAM lifters.

maybe jamm lifters are different somehow??
