lifter sifter
If you have a stock windsor, then you more than likely have a hydraulic lifter setup. So, replace as needed with the right thing.
If your engine is all gooey, you might have a couple of gooey lifters too. So, replacement might not be a bad idea.
And if they are gooey or crusty and you decide to pull them out, they might be a bit difficult to yank. Either needlenose pliers (as mentioned previously) or the old trick of rotating the engine until the lifter pokes up a bit and slapping a hose clamp on it to use as a handle of sorts. This can score the lifter, so if you do it, be sure that they are going straight to a recycling yard.
Recycle!
