Oops,

I was just putting on the rocker arm assembly and positioning the push rods
when I noticed that I had forgotten to fill the new lifter before I
installed it.  Would it be ok to let the lifter bleed itself when I
eventually fire up the engine (and then adjust it), or can the lifter be
damaged  if it is not filled with oil. ?  Is there a way to fill it while it
is installed?.

I was thinking of pouring some oil down the tube and then pushing on the
lifter numerous times with the pushrod to see if it would vacuum up some of
the oil.

Thanks for your help,

Vince
