I have been soaking my new roller lifters in paint thinner trying to get any of the manufactures lubricant / grease out of them that may have dried out, i did notice some very small pieces of debris that looked like lint in the bottom of the container i used to soak them in. I have used a pushrod to depress the plunger and 5 of the 12 are very smooth and easy and the other 7 are rough and harder to depress.
My question is for those that have installed and ran these lifters. Did you notice this or a simular condition when you installed them and do you think there could be a problem with them.
You would think for the price they would be of better quality than this. All of the $2.00 - $4.00 hydraulic lifters i've used in the past were all very smooth operating when i would depress them with a pushrod.
Thanks in advance for the help
