Just got a couple of spare lifters in the event that some of mine are indeed unusable when I investigate later this month. They are not what I expected though. I had thought that getting new ones would allow me to see exactly how they were before I got them out of the engine for examination, but I expected that I would be able to depress the centre section and release to see if the spring was working ok. These new ones do not seem to have a centre section to depress. They are still in the bag in a smear of oil, and if there is a part to be pushed in then it already is. Perhaps it needs to be filled with oil to force this part out?
Could someone please clarify the layout or make up of the lifter itself so that I can get my bearings, as it were?
Thanks guys
