I did a search but couldn't find a straight answer on this. I'm getting ready to install new HLA's in my tib and i thought i remember reading that i should let them soak before install. Ummm soak in what? and for how long? Checked HMAservice and it says nothing about it.

 

oil? Same thing you would do before a cam install, so its lubricated when you turn the motor over and it goes in easier.

 

thought i remember someone saying ATF before, but can't find it now. Oil well... thats obvious

Can't think of any reason for ATF, course I've never replaced HLA, most of my other cars are solid lifter.

 

I dont see why you would soak it in tranny fuild? wouldnt oil just be suitable? thats what i thought

 

you soak your old ones in ATF to try to fix em... as they are HYDRAULIC the atf is good for em
now if your gettin new ones just use oil
