Inspection
1. Ensure that the lifter seat retainer clip is not broken or damaged.
2. Inspect the pushrod seat. If the seat is scuffed or worn, inspect the pushrod.
3. Inspect the outer lifter body wall. If the wall is scuffed or worn, inspect the engine block lifter bore.
4. Inspect the roller of the valve lifter. If the roller is scuffed or worn, inspect the camshaft lobe.
5. Ensure that the oil hole is unobstructed.
6. Inspect all parts carefully. Replace the valve lifter assemblies that are damaged or excessively worn.
