there are ways round what i think you are trying to do ie depressing oil out of the cam bucket. Put the hydraulic in a vice and put in the void a spacer ie a sump plug and gradually keep tightening the vice until you press all the oil out ...bleeding easy.If you struggle your local engine reconditioner can do the job for 25£ for 16

erm no. I want to put oil in them. Honda reckon using kerosene, but I reckon oil will be just as good, seeing as thats what they'll run in anyway.
Using the vice method tends to bugger them up. Thats what the last owner or the workshop did!!

"Using the vice method tends to bugger them up", agreed, if you are ham fisted.

Use soft faces in the vice

Stay put when I hit you!

The whole idea of removing the oil is that engine oil will gradually fill the lifter and avoid jacking the valve open which is not what you want.
