#4s intake lifter has spring pressure
But zero hydrolic pressure

What’s that about. These are new.
After 36 miles.

Maybe there’s trash in the passage.
Oil change w mystery oil happened today.
There’s a club meet on Sunday.

What would you do?
I’m leaning toward drive it about 100 more miles in 2 passes
See if it breaks something, maybe order some Rhodes lifters and all those damned gaskets
Maybe even blow money on yella terras (sp whatever) to make the top look pretty.

This is why I'll only use the Crower camsaver lifters in these engines and nothing else. I would most likely change them, especially if the engine is new. Most of the lifter support for this engine is a QA nightmare.
