360 hydraulic lifter valve lash

I would not change all the lifters

I'd pull out a known good one or buy a new replacment --just one-- and check it and your old ones against the "bad" one and a "known good" one (that's 4 altogether) for pushrod seat height

Check out a couple of other pushrods, although I guess you swapped em

AND CHECK THE valve stem installed height against other valves

Del, i went and rotated the engine around and i did find a collapsed intake lifter on #8 . WTF MAN, these are brand FN new! there are a couple other suspected lifters. when a good lifter is pumped up, should i be able to plunge the lifter when it is riding the base circle of the cam with the rocker arm and pushrod?

i am using the original pushrods that the engine was born with. when all the valves are closed and no valve train, they should all stand equal in height , correct?

man, i tell you what, i have never had so many lifter problems in all my life lol

them solids are sounding better every minute!
