Should still crank, but depending how it's stuck, it will run with a misfire/rough or could cause damage if the engine is an interference fit motor( I.E. the valves would hit the piston) or damage the camshaft.

How can you tell if a roller lifter is bad?

This is a toughie. First you have to decide which lifter it is then pull the rocker cover and find the rocker arm that has play in it. Then look at the lifter and where the push rod rides should be stuck down further in the lifter bore than the rest. Or press down on the inside and if it goes down over 1/8 inch and is springy the lifter is bad.
