I removed, disassebled, cleaned, oiled and reassembled them. They seem to have survived the grit. However, they do not look anything like the ones in my shop manual. No ball and ball retainer, rather a metal stamping containing a small spring and flat washer creating a check valve. Their is a single hole in the plunger which is found in a relief groove. My question is, how do you preload the new stlye lifters after you have taken them apart. I tried initally to preload the body, before I replaced the plunger, but then could not push the plunger down far enough to get the retainer back on.
