How to: Solid lifters for checking valve clearance

[MICHAEL MICHAUD]

In the process of a rebuild and I am adding a typ4 cam so I need to check my clearances and I thought i would show you guys how I pulled apart and reassembled my lifters without a spring.

Thanks to @IDIBRONCO for the inspiration on making solid lifter setup.

Could the gurus please check out this short video of what I did and tell me if its pass/fail and Ill edit this post to add some more details so It can help people in the future.

Thanks for watching!

I only reused the top cup (where the pushrod sits) and the clip. The rest of the space was filled up with washers. I don't think that it really matters, as long as there is no movement in the lifter at all. Other than that, I thought the video looked fine.
