Which group of lifters are bad?
All lifters measure 0.420" from the button to the top.
Group 1)
lifter is soft. I can push the button in with my thumb with using about 5 lbs of force.
If I pump up the lifter with oil it stiffens (real hard to push) up but as I push it with my thumb I am able to get oil to seep out of the hole and run down the lifter.
If the lifter sits on the bench after 2 minutes the oil leaks out of the hole and i am again able to push the button with my thumb using about 5 lbs of force
Group 2)
If I try to push on the button very hard with my thumb (about 50 lbs of force) I can get the button to depress just a little amount (1/5 the distance) and a little oil leaks out of the hole. Maybe 1/10 the amount of oil.
The lifter can sit on the bench for eternity and it doesn't go soft. It maintains a very stiff nature.
So which lifters are bad?
I need confirmation ASAP
Thanks in advance
Speedy
