just pulled the lifters on the 2.0

they show almost no wear on the tops but I am not sure they have a dome to the top.

how can you tell if they are worn and can you reuse them if they are good?

thanks,
dr

put two face to face... If they won't rock on each otehrs faces they are not convex anymore and are trashed..
