Did you soak the lifters overnight in motor oil? This gets the air out of the cavity inside so it can provide the cushion effect a hydraulic lifter provides. If not you need to prime the oil system with an outside oil pressurizing tool .

No I did not so ill probably have to replace the new ones now I have tick n a grind like no oil is moving in her can I email you a video my email is alan.redden.2@gmail.com
