Yes filter is in stock position. I filled it half way up when i installed it..
Any more and the oil will drip out because of the angle.
How long before building up the pressure?
Dont want to risk anything..
Before I relocated mine I would sometimes have lifter noise for about 10 seconds and then it would start quickly quieting. I wouldn't feel comfortable any longer than that. Cut that first filter open if you still have it. Take a saws all and cut it right in the middle just for heck of it and make sure you don't have bad batch of WIX. I would. No harm. I doubt it's that but simple enough to check.
