Able to check a lifter in the motor??
I was curious if anyone has a way to check a lifter while it is in the vehicle? I recently broke a valve spring and not sure at what point in the run it broke (it ran fine until I let off) and I have developed a louder then normal valvetrain noise since. I pulled all the pushrods and checked them and swapped the rockers with a spare set I had and it is still there. It is also coming from the side of the broken spring. I looked in the hole of the heads and the lifters snap ring and plunger are still intact and the car is running fine minus the audible tick. I hate to pull a head and the lifter be fine. (Head studs and a/c still in the car makes it fun) They are morel link bars btw.
