pulled the intake to see why my pushrods were not spinning when engine was idleing. checked the lifters and they appear that they have been spinning. there are slight swirl marks on the bottoms as if they were spinng. is it possible that the lifter were spinning and not the pushrods? only have about 200 miles on the new cam and lifters. what would i see on the lobes if they were starting to go or if the lifters were not spinning?:confused:

Yes, its possiable for the pushrods to not spin, and if you had an issue the bottom of the lifters would start to dish. But if all the bottoms of the lifters are swirled then I would say your safe.
