Re: 1941 356 lifter sticking

When a stuck valve is forced open by one of those hydraulic lifters the oil pressure within the barrel of the lifter skyrockets. That can cause them to permanently expand slightly and consequently jam in the bores.

You could try running the lifter up all the way and wrap a strip of 1000 grit paper around it and polish it down a tad.
