Lifters?

[johnnyRacer]

After soaking my lifters in Gumout carb/tb cleaner over night only one collapsed. I'm just trying to get it back to DD status for now. Any ideas?

Did you use a small paper clip to depress the one-way valve inside the lifter?

 

[johnnyRacer]

Yes. I let them soak overnight last night. I'll check them again shortly.

Make sure you are trying to depress them with the valve open... I know when I did mine it took some work to get them all to cooperate, some of the valves were very sticky, but eventually they all came loose.

I wound up working them in kerosene for a bit to get them freed up. Depress the valve and pump the thing a bunch while soaking.....Worked like a charm that way.

Yeah, I'm begining to think the carb cleaner really isn't working well on these lifters. I was thinking of using either brake cleaner or kerosene. But I can get diesel the easiest.
