Rebuilding VS Replacing HLA's

[Infinitiguy19]

I saw pictures not too long ago from someone that opened up a Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (HLA) and inspected it for differences (Compared to a SR20XXX) HLA. The person was able to open it up and I ASSUME put it back together with out issues. If he was able to do so successfully then would it not be better to remove and clean all 32 HLA's rather than replacing them with expensive new OEM parts?

What tools and chemicals are needed to clean the tiny oil holes on the HLA's.?

a fresh can of carb dip and alot of patience and a paperclip and they can be cleaned.

that was my thread i havent ran the motor yet. but they where all still pumped up last time i checked. all you need to do to take them apart is pry off the little clip thing on the top and kinda shake em till the inside parts slide out
