Pull the rocker and the pushrod, see if you can see or blow through the pushrod then go from there.

In 1985 I was purchased a Mercury Meteor with a 351C have the exact same problem on ONE valve, I slacked the rocker, putted out the pushrod, and checked, not blocked, and I don't wanted to disassemble the entire intake to remove the lifter...

I tryed a stuff for that at Canadian Tire, and after 2-3 Days and sped 3-4 rockers

the problem was solved...

Generally if is not the pushrod blocked, it's a blocked lifter...

25ft/lbs max.

if you have regular rockers that were stock.

NOW I HAVE A QUESTION:grinno:

why only 1 lifter,,, why not just bite the bullet and get the whole set?

I agree with JCASSITY, a whole set of lifters is not very very expensive, and this will refresh this part of Your engine...

This is the same if You change only a one faulty spark plug on You're engine

no,, i thought that was the cost for 16 lifters,, im like holly .

this was the first time you said the maigic word,,,,"KIT". Obviously that means all lifters and associated gaskets. Big difference in automotive terminology,, sorry if i confussed you.

a set 16 stock lifters dont cost 180.

The kit probably will.
