i removed the lifters from my head and was wondering whats the best way to clean them and bleed them..

I soaked them in acetone. Worked well. Then I soaked them in light oil (30W) and squeezed the lifter. Kinda worked. Haha. A little noisy but better than they were.

I am not sure, but I think there was a write up on this topic. I am sure there is information out there, but I may have read it in another forum.
