Tore down a stock 1976 shovelhead motor to rebuild the top end. Bike was running pretty good but smoking cause of worn out guides. Put new guides n valves in n got it all ready to go back together and noticed the hydraulic lifters, er least I believe they're hydraulic, have no spring or check ball in them. each lifter comes apart in two pieces and have oil holes but nothing inside.
Anybody encountered this before or heard of guys removing that shit for some reason? Tried researchin the web n haven't came across anything yet .
Thanks,
