Just wrapping up my first 5.0 rebuild. I am now to the point where I am adjusting the rockers. I have TFS Twisted Wedge heads that came with the "trickflow" 1.6 stud mount roller rockers. Well, I coated the lifters with oil and put inplace along with the supplied pushrods and then the rockers. I try to tighten down the nut and I notice maybe half of my lifters are bleeding down a little, i.e. the lifter is compressing and not allowing me to adjust the rockers propperly. I have looked around the site and I have found conflicting reports on how to remedy this. Should I fill the engine with oil and prime the lifters with the oil pump drive shaft. Also going to remove the lifters and coat with assembly lube as I just used engine oil before. Please advise.
Smitty.
