Yes,, the instructions are pretty straight forward with the lifters exposed. But it also says you can do this with the intake on but that's all they say. Yes,,when the lifters are new and haven't been run yet and lifters exposed is the best way. That's why I let it sit for a week so to let them drain out. Anybody have a procedure they use for vmax lifters that have been in my situation or do I have to tear it apart? Seems crazy that youd have to see the lifters each time you adjust them. Them being so tight with a feeler gauge makes me think theyre too tight or theres oil holding up the plunger still.
