Yes, I have tried pouring oil onto the shim and turning the crank. To clarify... when I turn the crank and after the lobe pushes the shim down, the lifter doesn't return to the same height as all of the other lifters. By the way, what do you mean by "I would put some oil and turn the crank to see if it come up. Keep me updated." Do you mean take the lifter out and pour oil in, or take the shim out and pour the oil in? Thanks for your reply.
