While it is common to clean them up/re-use and take your chances, this practice is what caused my repeat engine failure after a full rebuild when the used lifters and used lifter carrier failed within several hundred miles after the rebuild.
Best of luck with the rebuild and keep us up to date on your progress!

I am still thinkin about the hydraulic lifters. There was no metallic particles inside when I opened them. Just old tar type of oil...
Don't know if that was the reason why they had jammed?
Read also from somewhere that there has been some type fault in the original lifters (part no 996 105 041 50) and therefore they have been replacesed with new model (part no 996.... 72).
So I am just wondering if cleaning will do the job, or if I have to seriously concider replacement???
