Need help gsc n/t lifter install no compression
Installed gsc non tick lifters the other day and my car wouldn't start up. I did a compression test and found no compression in 3 cylinders. I sat the lifters in oil before I installed them. So I called gsc yesterday and was told that the lifters are ready to be put rite in. I was told to take them back out and open the check valve in the lifter with a paper clip and compress the lifter to get the oil out and bleed them down. Did that last night and still got the same results! Why are these lifters not bleeding down? My timing is definatly on point 100%. Anyone have any ideas or feedback? Thanks guys gonna call gsc back today and see what they say.

Well, if the Kiggly is not working then no oil to the lifters and they stay collapsed. Can you tell if the top end is getting oiled?
Have you actually checked compression? Also, spark and fuel? If all that is okay then I'd suggest another hard look at timing. |
just to let everyone know i talked to the guys at gsc and there over nighting a brand new set of lifters to me. that is a+ customer service in my book. specially cause i can be the one bleeding them wrong... very helpful and easy going guys over there at gsc. so im just gonna take the new set rite out the bag bleed them and drop them rite in. i guess sitting them in oil was a bad idea on my part

Got a update. The car is fine now and I got compression in all cylinders 150 across. The lifters took 2 days to bleed down while in the car even after taking them out of the package, opening the check valve inside with paper clip as GSC said to do, and pumping all the oil out of them. Took the car for a drive this morning and everything feels good running smooth and the lifters are quieter than they were before

Bringing back from the dead-
So were these installed without any oil in them? (dry) Buddy of mine has a similar issue. Travis |

After taking them out, bleeding them with a paper clip, and letting them sit for a day, they were good to go. I have seen people soak them in diesel over night, bleed, then install and work just fine. |
Your supposed to bleed them dry, stick a paper clip in, flip lifter upside Down and start pumping
