As title,

Took the rocker off, in the process of replacing the head gasket and looked at the hydraulic tappits, but need to know, if one (or more) is faulty What sort of physical things should i be looking for?? and is there anything to test whether each one works??

cheers

release the lifter if its under pressure and push down on them if they feel like they go down there no gd lol the way i work it if they tap there fecked but watch out cause acording to ford there is different types as i found when i got sold the wrong set and the got chewed up in the head

It is next to impossible to test like this, if they have done any amount of miles just replace them, or if any were noisy.

yeh i had just figured that i would replace them anyway, as there was a fair tap off the top end

i had been told that they could be replaced individually

They CAN be replaced individually, then you might have to play hunt the noisy one again!!
