If you have a bad lifter, Then you will have a miss in the engine. First find out what cylinder is missing and then remove the valve cover on that side of the engine. Then get someone to bumb the engine over real slow and you need to watch the 2 rocker arms on the cylinder that is missing and make sure that thay move up and down as far as the ones on both sides do while the engine is being bumbed over.
If 1 of the 2 rockers do not move the same distance then you either have a worn out cam lobe are lifter is worn out. Will need to take apart and see what is wrong with the engine.
