360 Block Lifter Ticking

I saw the direction it went and I heard the jingling as it bounced on the floor. I should be able to find it. Would you reuse this one? I don't see anything wrong with it and it is not bleeding back now.
I think I would. Maybe reinstall it without the intake and spin the engine over a good bit and see if it stays pumped up. It would suck to get it all back together and it still tick. If it doesn't collapse after that, I'd call it fixed. It doesn't take much AT ALL for them to get blocked. Whatever it was may have fallen out and you may never see it.
