Like Snoopy said , that looks like the lifters aren't the right size for the bore. The lifters should be snug and have no side to side movement. It looks like both the lifters in that piture are cocked.



I think it's a optical illusion, no one would put lifters in loose. Now once the lifter started to wear, then I could see it getting outta wack.

The engine would not last 10 mins if the lifters were loose in there bores.
