How can you discern when lifters are bad? I purchased a head (with cam and lifters) from a shop but I also have a set of cams and lifters as well. What indicates a 'bad' lifter?
I noticed a few lifters plungers (terminology can be wrong here) can be manipulated with my finger or depressed and other lifters are very firm. I assume this is bad?
Or, doing a rebuild, is this an item that should be refreshed regardless? I've heard VW lifters are an option, I just dont know if its worth the price for performance gains or not. I already have essentially 2 sets so I figured I could get 1 solid set out of the lot and go with that... but I'd appreciate yalls input.
