Re: IML: LIFTERS

["Chris Strohmeyer" <chrisstroh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My guess is that the bottom third of the lifters probably have varnish or 
sludge burned on to them(It looks darker than bright metal). Try some gumout 
or laquer thinner and clean them around the part close to the cam and they 
should pull free.
