If one in not moving much that lobe is wiped on the cam. To help with your learning curve, a lifter full of oil is not that easy to push down by hand. When you learn to do them running you will see how long it takes one to bleed down when you are doing your adjustments. It can take several seconds to bleed down even with the pressure of the valve spring.

After we put the new lifters in we did bump the engine over to watch if it moved like the rest of the lifters and they seemed to move like all the rest of the lifters. I will post some pictures of the lifters.
