Quote: .....What brand of lifters are those??? Good luck on the repairs.
they are comp 8921's, (i broke the ladder bar off so i could investigate, can't get the plunger out when they are together). it doesn't appear to be any fault of their own, i am hypothesizing that the little piece of chewed up rtv i found in the feed hole starved it out, and that somehow caused the little valving plate to break due to lack of oil, or pump up...
the fun part, will be trying to fish the new set in through the head without taking the intake off, like i got them out!
but hey, i have no rear main leak now! lol.............
