How do you identify bad hydraulic lifters?

> Anyone know an easy way of identifying bad lifters.

Nope.  Not worth the effort - change the lot.  Rod out the oilways
with strimmer wire and change the oil - fill to two rows of dots
below the 'Max' mark.

Best UK pricing for lifters varies between 'Pete the Parts' and AM Cars.

Pete is currently GBP9 each, no VAT.
