[T2] Lifters pumped up too hard

[thewestyman]

Thanks for the reply, very much.

I understand, the lifters should work as you were telling.
The only thing is; they don't in this case.  That's why I was bringing it to 
the fore.
I wish, it was working as it should.  All my other vans works right.

???   Hyd. Lifters are adjusted so the piston is in the MIDDLE of its
range of travel- when adjusted too tight, there is no range and you can
have valve not totally seating (to cool) or when too loose, it will slap
and not open enough.  The oil pumped up limits this range to nearly none
but allows enough at ANY ENGINE TEMP to allow full seating of the valve.
There is no "pumped up too much".  The valve clatter at "pre-pumped up
warming is the piston slapping around until oil fills the lifter and it
quiets.  This can be longer for old engines that let oil drain from
lifter when bus sits a while.  Let it quiet before driving.

They just don’t collapse at all in the car.  I did not try them outside
of the car yet.
My question is; what can make this happen?
