I'm rebuilding my rb to OEM standards and am now to the head assembly. I was playing with my lifters and random ones are stuck. They don't spring like some others do. I've marked them all so I know exactly where they go so they're not in the wrong places. I'm new to the rb20 so I'm a bit confused. Someone told me to replace them all but the cheapest OEM replacement is $65.00 a piece, at 24 of those, plus ship is $1,600. So no thank you lol so please can someone help me out, with advise. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much

try soaking them in something, maybe pb or some motor oil? agitate the lifters and possibly they will release.

Ok I'll give it a shot. If not, do you know where I could find an OEM set?
