subarurx yo Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 i inspected my hydraulic lash adjusters and one is spongy, so is there anyway to prime them or is it done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 you can probably just call it bad and throw it out get another one. You can take it out, and try to prime it, but i bet it won't hold and will get soft again. To prime- get a small cup of oil, and a thumbtack. You hold it under oil, while pushing the thumbtack in the bleed hole, then press and release bleed it. You will see air come out, and it will get firm again, but i bet it is shot.

Crazyeights Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Upon re-assembly won't they pump themselves up if they are good, or do they always have to be bled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
