Put cams on my Evo today and decided to make a quick video on how to bleed and prep lifters. Enjoy!

Nice vid. Never heard of the diesel fuel trick, but seems interesting. Way to many threads about lifter noise after a cam install. Nice work!

 

Good video. I wish I found this out sooner, alot of people install cams and complain about the ticking noise after. It's because many people skip this step! Probably because they all followed evomoto's writeup like myself.

 

I always thought you wanted the lifter to compress and thats why you bleed out the oil. Iv seen people clean the lifters with deisel but not refill the lifter doesnt that take away the whole purpose of bleeding the lifters.

 

The key part is to make sure you soak your hand in diesel for a half hour while you do that to bleed 16 lifters. Your skin is the biggest organ in your body, soaking it in diesel for an extended period of time, no thanks. Even a nitrile glove wouldn't be up to the job. You might want to add that since this is a 'how to' thread.
