Hey Guys,

so i pulled apart the hydraulic lifters for a clean as some were very noisey.

i basically followed this - http://www.gtrpwr.com/showthread.php?t=726 except i cleaned them individualy and left the lifters sumerged in motul 6100 15w50 oil for 48 hours, then put the lifters back into the spots they come from.

now after installing everything and checking timing about 5 times i have no compression in any cylinders..

if it possible that i have blead the lifters to much or am i missing something here?

That guide is correct way to do it, ive done a few sets exact like that with no problems. If you followed it then lifters shouldnt be the problem but hopefully its not the timing or else going to have some mashed valves.

the more i read around the different forums, some are saying to not pre prime the lifter before assembly, to let them prime once in the head?

i had a similar problem, poured a little bit of fresh oil into all the lifters before putting them back together and 1 ended up having too much and refused to bleed down, causing no compression on that cylinder. pulled it all apart and replaced the lifter with a spare and problem solved

i managed to figure out wtf i did wrong..

very stupit mistake.. when i was assembling the lifter bodies i managed to put them the wrong way around which is why they could no bleed down.. i i didnt put the check vavle side into the lifter body, but the other way around.

we dont believe it has done any valve damage but will know more later today :ph34r:

I havent cleaned mine as they were already clean, not knowing any better i hit them with compressed air and blew the old oil out after a soak in petrol. I hope I havent damaged them? a few were pumped up by air, will this bleed out or is this bad? engine not started yet. Any info would be good thanks

Bleeding air/oil out of lifters;

Pull lifters out of buckets, push a pin/ paper clip into the ball bearing part, afterwards it should compressby gently squeezing it, if it doesn't, it either has oil or air still in it

Leave in oil over night or put in and crank motor until you get oil pressure then start the car

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
