Hydraulic Lifter - Disassembly / Inspection / Assembly
Disassembly
Disassembling a lifter is not very difficult.
The plunger is under slight spring load from the retaining ring when the oil is bled off of the lifter.
A pumped up lifter can be bled by removing the check valve on the bottom and pressing a pushrod in the lifter hole.
Once the plunger is out, turn the body upside down and let it drain. Pull the plate out if you haven't already. | ||

Check for scratching or galling on the inside shoulder of the housing and outside body of the piston. 2) | ||
