[Vwdiesel] [TDI-conversion] Preparing to install Lifter Followers, cam, etc on head

[Scott Daniel - Turbovans]

hi Dave,
tdi injectors definitely use heat shields.
critically important part I'd say even. 

I haven't had the opportunity to bleed diesel hyd cam followers..
but I'd submerge then in oil and operate them by hand a bunch of stokes.  ..
can't hurt for sure.  
they discuss it in Bentley for waterboxer hyd lifters I believe.

Currently for a bearing assembly lube I am using Clevite brand 'Bearing Guard' ..
my machine shop swears by it .  
Or just any good assembly lube. 
I use it on the cam bearings and on the cam lobes, and tops of the lifters.
I install the lifters in the head with engine oil.

  The head is all cleaned up and ready to reinstall. Lifter followers are due to arrive in a day or two. 

  What preparations need to be done to prepare the head for driving? I thought I had read something about bleeding the followers with oil before installation once, but did not find much useful information in the Bentley.

  I also assume that I should use some kind of assembly lube or oil on the camshaft to head bearing surfaces as well. 

  Any other special considerations? TDI injectors don't have heat shields, right?
