97 gst-ok my lifters came in today and im putting them in tm morning, now ive heard u need to soak them in oil over night? also i no vfaq has the info which is good but, i dont get what to do with the paper clip,
"# Pull the lifter out of the head by hand (pliers shown for clarity)
# Remove all oil from the new lifter - this also applies if you are cleaning and reusing the old lifters. Get a large paperclip and straighten it out. Insert it into the top hole of the lifter until it bottoms, then press on it lightly - you can now easily collapse the lifter with the paperclip still in place !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!# Submerge the lifter in oil, depress the paperclip, and pump the lifter to fill it with oil.
# Remove the lifter, turn it upside down, depress the paperclip, and pump the lifter until no more oil comes out. This will leave a thin film of oil for startup.
# The lifters will clatter for a few minutes at startup when empty like this, but that is better than having them too full of oil and bending some valves.
# Drop the lifter back in the bore - it doesn't really matter how you line up the oiling holes in the lifter, they rotate under normal use.
