On lifters I was taught two things:
First, replace not rebuild
Second, if not replaced, return it to the same location it was removed from.

Subject: Hydraulic lifter wear/cleaning question

Do hydraulic lifters wear out or do they just get dirty and not worth the
labour cost to disassemble and clean?  Mine have the occasional bleed down,
but nothing major.  I have them all on my bench and some are dirtier than
others.  I have taken two apart and one was definitely dirtier than the
other and it was also "softer" than the rest but it could have been one that
got knocked over on the bench and leaked.
Thanks
