Cam shaft replacement - hydraulic lifters

Post by iaint »

Replacing worn camshaft and hydraulic lifters on my AWX. I'm getting conflicting advice on what to do with the hydraulic lifters.

Some say steep in oil overnight before installing.

Some say just smear assembly lube on the external surfaces and fit them and do not steep them in oil. Then crank the engine a few times without the injector loom connected and this gets enough oil in them to then allow the engine to be ran.

Anybody replaced theirs?
