Those pictures are too dark. You must have shiny lights and disco balls to get people to show up at a party.

Glad you found a collapsed lifter and its easier than you thought to remove and install. Clean clear pics are worthy of phrase... But blurry are worthy of none. I will say thanks for trying and being able to post pics. I'm a member on the Auburn Cord Duesenberg site and I can't post pics there. Neither can many members. Sadly nobody knows whats wrong too. When all the lifters are installed do yourself a favor. Make sure the lifter spring bar is installed on the dog bones before the valley pan is installed. This forum had a member years ago really happy to have replaced all the lifters and was listening to the engine running when I noticed the spring bar on the work bench....
That was a great day gone in a second. Also install the pushrods before the valley pan. That way you can be sure they are properly in the lifter cups. Some owners feel the crank damper timing mark needs to be at the 1100 oclock position before tightening down the rockers so none of the valves contact the pistons at top dead center. If the lifters are installed emty or dry they will compress just fine. Some don't want to chance it and move the crank anyway. When the crank is at the 11 oclock position all the pistons are below top dead center.

I am goin tu US next week could drop one in mail
if i were you, i would seriously consider dropping a cam in...
Russ's torque cam has had great reviews...
and there pretty easy to install, after you get everything out of the way.
