Anyone have any tips to free up stuck hydraulic lifters? I know about using a quart of transmission fluid in the oil for a couple hundred miles, but does anyone have any other suggestions?

Getting the oil nice and hot with a long run might just do it...........

I have had good results with "Seafoam". Available at many parts stores. I put 1/2 can into the oil, and 1/2 can into about 5 gals of fuel in the tank.
