Default EASY ONE>>>ABOUT HEADS

I was thinking about adding a cam and was wondering if I could take the lifters out with the heads still on? I don't really want to take them off if I don't have too.

Just loosen then RRs so you can pull the pushrods out, then grab the lifters after you take the retainer off.

If you're using the same cam/lifters be sure to make which lifter goes where, and also which direction it is pointing (so it rolls the same direction on the cam)
