Lifter help please!
I let someone drive my car at the track last weekend and they overreved the car by missing gears in 2nd AND 3rd. Large clanking noise coming from the motor which i thought may have been a pushrod, but i put my stock pushrods back in and the noise did not go away. Valves look ok and none of them are bent, but i think some of the lifters may be fried. How can i check this for sure? Is there a way to check if a lifter is OK or not? None of them are actually broken or anything, but some of them seem flexable in the tip and some seem to not move. Any help would be appreicated considering this is my daily driver and its currently sitting in my garage dissasembled w/ the heads off.

Have you checked for needle bearing in the oil pan? If you are doing a heads and cam package just buy some comp r lifters. They are cheaper than stock and much better the only problem is I think they are on national backorder.
