Lifter supply worries over for me?

I had a brand new set of Hydraulics that had less than 200 miles on them and they would bleed down and tick until they prime up again.

I pulled them and checked them out and they were beginning to rust like crazy on the inside!!!

When I called Lunati and explained that I have never had this happen before with lifters, I was told by them that the EPA now makes them test their lifters with Mineral Oil and not motor oil like they used to do. Once they have been tested they wash them and put them in the box.

He told me that when you get a new set of lifters, that they recommend you tear them apart, clean them and soak them in oil before installing them.

I said, soaking in oil is common before an install but never got the memo about the tearing apart and cleaning before hand!!!

He said we have the EPA to thank for the rust and corrosion due to the new testing process!!!
