Some people argue with me, but I always install lifters the same way, and it always works right the first time.

I get a coffee can and fill it halfway with oil. Then I take the lifters and a pushrod I keep as a tool, and one at a time, place the lifters in the can and pump the air out with the pushrod. It gets to be a workout if the lifters are any good, and can take 5 to 15 minutes each. Stop only when there are no more air bubbles coming out of the bleed hole (alot like bench bleeding a master cylinder). Then I install them and adjust the valves.

Take care,
-Chris
