Cleaning lifters?

[Spetz]

I am about to change the valve seals on my 6G74 Diamante.

It does not have any lifter tick.
Is it a good idea to flush out the lifters while they are out, or should I leave them as is?

If they are not sticking and noisy i would leave well enough alone.
Just make sure you keep them in order and bleed before reinstalling them if recommended if you need remove them.

For things like "flushing out" lifters, you are more likely to "flush in" miscellaneous junk.

I'd leave them as is.

+1 & +1.

If it ain't broke don't fix it..............

I would clean them with some Berrymans Chemtool. Rinse with 5w30 or MMO.
