Well, I think I am just going to bite the bullet and replace the lifters all at once and discard the bad ones and hold onto the good ones just in case. I already purchased a gasket kit for the motor since anything that can leak oil is leaking oil. I'm going to pull the head and install these lifters:
eBay lifters. I have not purchased them yet in case there is a better option out there.

I purchased the spring compression tool mentioned earlier in this thread. Any tips or tricks once I have the heads off? This is the first flathead motor I will have gone this deep into with the intention of fixing, not turning into a glass top table or some other piece of art.

I really appreciate everyone's help and patience!
