That happened to me too in mine, I couldn't get the lifter's out due to all the varnish on them, and I ended up taking it to my local mechanic who pulled the cam and knocked them out into the inside, then removed them. He couldn't find anything wrong with the motor at all. I have yet to put it all back together with a new set of lifters to see if that was truly the issue though.

What do you mean by break them in Zeke? I am not familiar with that.
