[Vwdiesel] Fwd: Hydraulic Lifter Question

[James Hansen]

Would not using a drill and adapter to turn the oil pump be a wiser 
course of action? Prelube the bearings, fill the followers etc etc...
It works on a chevy smallblock... no reason it shouldn't work on your volks.
And yeah, changing valve lash changes duration which alters compression 
in cams such as these.
