i have a vl and the lifters seem to be jaming up only like 1 or 2 of them. They move in and out but not as easy as the others do and if you put a good lifter in its fine how do i fix this and are they all the same? The problem seems to be in the housing of the lifter. Does it matter if i mix them up? pic's are avaible.

Thanks benney sorry but i got it wrong "They move in and out but not as easy as the others do and if you put a good lifter in its fine" SHOULD SAY "They move in and out but not as easy as the others do and if you put a good lifter in its feels the same" and when i say good lifter i mean one of the other 12. sorry was in a bit of a hurry when i wrote it.
