How to tell if lifters are pumping oil?
i have a sound in my engine bay, hard to hear over my exhaust leak (POS MAC HEADERS!) can't decide if its rocker arms (they were off recently and i retorqued them to 20ftlbs) or a lifter or 2 not pumping oil

you can pull the valve covers and dizzy and self prime the motor and watch for oil coming out the push rod to rocker arm seat/holes and that'll tell you they are pumping up/ carrying hydraulic pressure
