Quick little how-to, installing modern self bleeding lifters on an 80's turbo Dodge motor. These motors were ubiquitous in all 80's Dodge K car derivatives from 1981 thought 1995. The lifters are from an '01+ 2.4L, as used in the PT Cruiser. They have a bleeder hole in the top that allows trapped air to escape so the valves open farther as well as run quieter. No more collapsed lifter tapping noises.
