I'm rebuilding a 2.4T block and pretty much upgraded all I can with new parts. The lifters for some reason are all out of stock. My dealer charges 25$ each(Canadian) which I find is crazy and are not in stock. 2-3 weeks down time! I found some sealed power units , but only 11 of them. part # HT 2278. That being said. How do I know if the ones I got are good. How to I bleed and test the old ones? The block has been sitting for quite some time. I tried bleeding them by pushing down on the little bleeder/valve on top but nothing happings. Put it in a vice and got to move a little and drip oil. Put good amount of pressure. Just does not feel right!
Can somebody help me on this?
