Hey guys
Have abit of an issue here, I'll run through quick details so can have an idea where I'm at.
Have just done a reco on an standard rb20det, had a hone, rings and bearings.
Had the head checked and recondition, had a few leaky valves, so spent abit having it all sorted out.
Had the lifters out while
Sent it away, soaked and pumped most of the old oil out of them cleaned them abit. then soaked then in new oil and pumped them in container of new oil
Prior to install.
Engine is in, and have the covers off trying to get the top end pressurised and pumped with oil.
Appear to have pressure, oil Pump is working fine. Have even pulled the sensor out on the block, and pressurised it from there with oil few times while cranking it over by hand.
Not really seeing the oil or much oil making it to the head or through the lifters yet.
I'm constantly checking by pushing down on the top of the buckets to see if they are still soft, and most/almost all still press down easy enough unfortuntely.
What are your thoughts on the situation, will I need to Pull the front off and cams back out to try bleed the lifters up and re-install?
Thanks for your input
