I haven't pulled the lifters out but I had an idea on what could be wrong. This problem only started when I flushed and changed the oil. The motor was really sludgy before this and I was getting some funky readings out of cylinder 1. When cold it would be at 120 but when hot it would be at 150. So what I am wondering is could have the sludge have blocked up the lifters or the oil galleys and thus caused them to not properly pump up with oil thus having slack cylinders. This would explain why when I drive it hard it evens out because the oil pressure is up enough to pump up the lifters. What do you think, am I talking outta my ass?

In the interim, u could try making a 3 pronged removal tool, by flattening 3 pieces of welding rod, then twisting the three together into a cone shape. Thus creating a spring-loaded action, to lock the 3 prongs under the lifter edge? Dunno if it'd work, just a random brainstorm idea I had. -

Ebay, Amazon, local toolshop, Bunnings possibly also? Mine are just cheap ones from some discount hardware shop yrs ago. -

It was challenging to get my lifters out, even with the tool, and rotating them as I applied upwards pressure. I also needed to use extended reach long-nose pliers with a circle shape on the end, to help tighten/loosen the tool into the lifters. (lightly firm, not too tight or u can fracture/break the cast metal lifter body) Plus a stick magnet to fish each lifter out of the chasm, once pulled out of their lifter bores. -
I just drilled a hole out, on the bottom slightly ontop of the other one and to the left. Worked fine

Well Ive tried pulling the lifters out with a magnet and a flattened welding rod and nothing has worked they move freely until the end where they feel like they hit a wall. Ive ordered a lifter pull tool but that wont be here till Friday. If you have any other tips on how to get them out then let me know

I don't remember. Possibly one but I basically put the new one in the correct spot and sent it. It was likely a need to drive it to work the next day after the original cable kinked and I wasn't buying another if I already had one that could work

@SPArKy_Dave - yes that’s what I was thinking too. @Thom @deankxf did you use any of the existing Mounting bolts? I was thinking if redrilling or drilling a bigger whole on the pedal.

There must be a slight difference, between the early XF mounting points, and the later XF commercials, which ran an e-series accelerator pedal?
