You can clean & test the lifters by submerging in new clean oil & heating to 250 degrees. Keep them in order so they can be returned to their mating cam lobe if good. Once up to temp compress the plunger & watch for dirty squirts coming out the side until it's cleaned out. If it won't pump up firm, replace it.

That looks like a good trick Thank you.

Still if it come down to it are there any special trick, or measurement's that I have to maintain if I end up replacing a couple lifter or would it be best to replace them all and the cages. I already had a price it's about $1000 a head in parts.

For safety reasons, it's better if you do it when your wife is not at home…

Someone attended my M96 102 Engine Assembly School.

The clearances that you seek do not exist....

So for reasonable tolerance. If I use a digital inside inspection micrometer on two axis's say 12-6 and 3-9 on every hole in the tappet housing and there is less than .0002" to .0004" variation, the housing should be OK to reuse.

Then if I purchase a new OE Porsche lifter I should be able to install it with out a second thought.
