Just one example,

If i remove the valve caps on an engine wich has been running,say the day before,
How should be the lifters wich are in the cam base circles(closed valve)?
Should i be able to move the rocker back and forth?
If i grab the pushrod between my fingers, should i be able to press the plunger down and feel it spongy?

Thanks
