Hi,
I noticed it has been a couple of days since you have been contacted. Has any additional progress been made?
As far as the issue, if you are referring to the hydraulic lifters, they should be replaced. If they are seized, even soaking them will likely not fix them properly, even if they loosen. Keep in mind, hydraulic pressure is what pumps them up. If there is internal damage, chances are they won't properly pump up or hold pressure.
Let me know if it is the lifters you are referring to. Also, inspect the camshaft for any evidence of damage to the high points of the lobes.
Take care,
Joe
