I just want you to know that with pulling a vacuum served times through out the day, 1/2 hour under vacuum, 28" and 1/2 under under normal atmospheric conditions cycling this motif 4 times i was able too get all the air out and was able to set normal pretty load and bleed down times from 10-20 minutes..

What I'm saying is before getting new lifters give this method a try.. It worked for me..

I don't see any lifters and only fill to cover them all.. Do all 4 at once, standing up.. You shouldn't be pulling oil into the hose..
