Hi im brand new to this forum and i need help on a sr build..plz dont get the idea that im jus tryin to mooch off of everybody's intelleigence and leave..

Ok my pal blew his sr(s13 blacktop) and we have took it from the ground back to the lash adjusters...thats where im stuck..Ive been trying to find an indepth procedure to bleed them by but cant really find anything that i can go by..if anybody has any knowledge on these things plz help me..

By the way if Ur wondering why im bleeding them that would be b/c i took them out to take the head to the machine shop and later read a forum where somebody had said dont lay them on their side or you'll have to bleed them...now regardless to if thats true im still bleedin them so if anybody knows the procedure and can tell me INDEPTH..plz pass ur knowledge to me....if there is a another post by me about this disregard it i thought i didnt post it..thats y i made this one.

thanks

submerge the lifter in a cup of oil (whatever kind you may be using)take a paperclip or something like it i us a small tourch tip cleaner , insert your paperclip in the small whole in the center once inside the lifter go until your paperclip stops move the paperclip around until you hit another whole then start priming it you should see small air bubbles coming out , simply reinstall after all the air is out , if you can push the lifter down by hand then it needs to be bled, but on a fresh motor this is a must
