how do i test my valve lifters?


Recommended Posts

as i was reassembling my northstar, i noticed that on some of the valve lifters, the internal spring was easy to push by hand on most of them while on a few it was impossible. 7 of them were not moving, so i just assumed that these were problematic. i purchased 7 new ones, but these seem impossible to push in also. Is it because i was incorrect and 25 of them were bad, 7 good? or is it because they haven't gotten pressurized and pushed out yet? basically, what im really looking for is what a good one should be like.. i don't want to go purchase another 18 of these at 16 dollars a piece :\
