I would like to know if a lifter locks does this mean it's bad. This is after I push down on the plunger and bleed it. Then it locks. These are the original lifters in this 1989 legend. Shall I just replace all of them?

I find recoing lash adjusters don't work that well, price up a set of new, they should not be that expensive.
