Default Lifters - Intake and Exhuast. How do you know when they are toast.

Im rebuilding the head.
All the Lifters are going back in there original location.

Some lifters have no squish and then there are 3 that do.

Is this a sign of a toasted lifter? or do they all go stiff with sufficent oil pressure.

Default They should "pump up" in oil. Try putting them in a cup with oil then compress them a few times.

They should stiffen up.

to further that, when you squeeze them with your hand and they squirt out oil they are toast.
