nice vid, you can also use a very thin pick and just release the valve inside and do it by hand. I use a back probe for electrical connectors, nice and firm
just a note for anyone doing this in the future. Some lifters (like the ones in kohler small engines and likely many other engines) need time under pressure to fully bleed. I just bled lifters for my kohler command pro engine and i used this method and it didn't work properly. I had to tighten in the vise, wait 1 to 2 minutes, tighten again, and so on for about 15 minutes. More oil kept coming out as I did that over time. When I just pumped it 2 or 3 times like in this video i only got a tiny amount of oil out and I noticed the lifter was still very hard with very little travel. After doing what i mentioned they were alot softer and depressed alot more.
I used to throw them out cos I pulled them apart to get oil out and have a hard time putting them back together, but now I know how too easy way with vice many thanks cheers
Hello Danny very informative video on lifters since I never owned a overhead cam engine I learned something Thank You Wishing you and your family well Take Care Sir
Funny how many people give the advice that you should pump up your lifters before installing them... I'm surprised I haven't seen more damaged engines because of it. That said, I've seen some damaged engines where people were very confused what happened. Perhaps this is an explanation for some of them.
Great video about something easy that causes problems for the beginners. You’d have to be pretty old not to know about hydraulic lifters, I believe they were in production engines during the 50’s.
Thanks again for another awasom video like always I learn something new every time if I keep watching your videos I will be a great engine macanic thanks again and keep the vedos coming
I gotta say Dani, i like your style of educating. I love technical stuff, as i am a rotor head, so i thoroughly enjoy your detailed explanation of complicated concepts.
Hi Daniel, when you squeeze a hydraulic lifter in a vice to bleed it, how does the oil escape from the lifter since there is a check valve in it? Does the oil push out from between the lifter body and the plunger? Thank you..
It bleeds pass the check valve, that’s why you need to do it slowly and don’t bottom it out. You can feel it bleeding down. Been doing this for years and never lost a lifter.

Small Allen key works great too
Thanks for giving us a lift! :)
I see what you did here…
🤣
A great lesson delivered flawlessly..
GREAT procedure correction!! Thinking old school and lifters just doesn't work with the new technology engines. Well done!! Merci

Yes, depending on the check valve and how dirty and how thick the oil is. The slower the better. Thanks!!!🙌

Nice tutorial Daniel! Love your work. Be cool. Peace and assembly grease.
Looks like someone re-did the whiteboard. Looks great!
I didn't knew about this, but now i do and.. i understand the what, why and how.

Yes. Please do a video on lifter pre-load.
Great video. Thanks!
Thanks mate much appreciated.
😎👍🍺🇦🇺
Great video. I have a question, do you soak new lifters or put them in dry?
We install them dry or with oil on them just not soaked.

Great video, thanks 🇺🇸

I appreciate that! Thank you.
Hi everyone hope everyone is having a blessed day
Beehive and preload videos please!
Where did you find purple shop rags?
Right?
Our cleaning service has them, I also think there cool.
I need some of them in my life
OMG!! And here I just paid a Pet Store $200.00 for Two Dozen Leeches to bleed my lifters.😁 Thumbs Up Dan👍 ..Have a great weekend
😂
Can you explain more about using a “bolt” or little metal rod when the lifter is in the “bucket”.
Great idea, this Friday’s livestream will be on lifters! Join us at 3:30 cst on my TH-cam channel and I’ll talk about it. 👍
Can you do this while the lifters are on the block and the head is torqued down?
