I have about 160 miles on a freshly built 302 and have a lifter that won't pump up. Should I just change the bad one or change them all? It seems like a fluke deal but now I'm weary of the rest of them. This was a whole set of new EngineTech brand hydraulic roller lifters so not the most expensive ones on the market by any means. I'd hate to change the one then another one go bad. They could all be crap or they could last 100k miles. I was under the impression there were only a few lifter manufacturers and they just get put in different boxes but I could be wrong. What would you guys do on a tight budget?
