Why do that, just take the snap ring out and flip the plunger (right underneath the cup) over and put it back together. That'll make it essentially solid. It's work to get the snap ring back in 'cause the tolerances stack up mighty tight, but it'll go and you'll have a solid lifter. Many folks do this for the entire set to turn hydraulic rollers into solid rollers.
