Hahaha, that looks like the head I had that had been sitting in the shed for a year after a blown head gasket!
My lifters started making a racket a few months back. Heres what they looked like...

after using this procedure on one lifter and once all assembled should the top part (where the clip is) be able to be pushed in so the spring throws it back up, bcoz all the other ones are solid

yes that is normal, seeing you have cleaned the lifter out there is no oil in them, that is why lifters take time to bleed when u put them back in. |

hey guys i just did this but did a terrible job of it. well for starters i cleaned the lifter out all fine and when i put them back together the bit were you said fill the ice cream container up with oil i did that about half a centametre from the top of the lifter standing up and i pumped the top of it but no air bubbles came out so i though oh ok lets put it all back together,
so i started putting it back together and i dont have a tourqe wrench i snapped the sixth bolt and started to freak, so i put it all back together went to start it and the ticking noise is even worse! a mate said the tapits need to be adjusted but i am not to sure can someone please help me asap as this is the way my car sits now.

put it all back together and it still made mad noise so i put another set of lifters in out of another motor, was fine for about 10km then it started again so i think its not getting enough oil up the top so im thinking i need a new oil pump or i have a blocked oil gallery

just curious, would this work also?
buy cheap cheap oil, dump the old oil and bin it, put the cheap cheap oil in and run the car for a few mins to get the oil everywhere, then dump the cheap cheap oil and replace with your proper oil? i thought this might work as the engine now has clean oil all round? and not the old dirty oil that stays in the crevices when u only dump old oil and put ur good stuff in. if this doesnt work after one flush, buy the cheapest oil u can get, i found some 13 doller oil, and flushed with that, you could buy 2 bottles, and flush the car twice, maybe run it a bit longer between changes, maybe for 10 mins giveing the car a squirt so u know its clean the whole engine, then dump it. the only reason i can see this not working is if the dirt in the lifters doesnt come out? or its blocked in them somehow? what you guys think? if this works, this would be easier than cleaning the lifters, but yea like i said, not sure this would work as good as cleaning the lifters themselves!

Your oil idea wouldnt work as when you pull the lifters apart there is heaps of crap inside them also.
Flushing with oil also wont fix any chipped lifters. Do it properly and it will give you lots of quiet motoring
