<VV> lifter removal

[J R Read_HML]

I'd say you should try a re-adjust of the rockers first.  Before that, check 
to be sure the push rods are in correctly - with oil squirt hole correctly 
oriented and push rod correctly centered in the lifters.  It's often the 
dumb stuff that bites you.

Second, what did the "rebuild" include?  If the lifters (and cam?) are 
fresh, there should be no problem with removal.  A better description of the 
word REBUILT would be helpful in diagnosis.

Later, JR
