Re: several problems w/ 3.1

I would usually put the lifters in a container of oil and compress them to purge the air and try to prime them before installing. You might be able to do that with a rubber mallet if you take the valve covers off and hit the pushrod side of the rockers while it's running. Works sometimes.
