? about stock lifters

So I was cleaning up my lifters because I was getting ready to install them in the head when I noticed that two of them, when I shake them, they rattle back and forth and I can actually move the lifter with my fingers. Are those two broken or what?

That's good information. But the advice that the lifter is broken may not be 100% accurate.

Hydraulic lifters are not to be stored on their side or upside down..they will get air in them. This is an RTFM fact.

You can refill the lifters, and they are normally assembled in a full oil bath, and done underwater (underoil).

It's possible if the lifters have been empty for a while inside an operating engine, then you may need to get new ones. And at US$10 each..I'd just go do that.

Damn my Solid Lifters are 5 times as much.

Another good thread!

Cool. Email a price shipped for 2 good ones to chrisradivonyk AT hotmail.com if you could. Also, could you send them out quickly? I wanted to try and get the head together by next weekend if I could.

that's inacurate info for a CA, I strip every single lifter and I've never once re-assembled them in an oil bath. I believe the CA lifter doesn't get air-locked as they have 2 holes rather than the normal 1. I know SR lifters need to be stored in oil as you get problems if they drain but this isn't so on the CA
