You will have to remove the guides and retainers too. That magnet will work just fine. Hopefully none of them will be stuck. And remember to put them back in the right bore unless you plan on installing new lifters.

Oh, well there you have it.

I thought they would too. But i think that the Haynes manual says they wont.

Remove the intake....the lifters should come out fine, you don't need to remove the heads......Suggest to degree the cam though.

im a bit confused. will the lifters come out easily? what guides and retainers?

Evil_F

Dont you need a degreealbe cam gear to do that though?

vtecwho

is that as hard as it seems? ive never gotten into this stuff before, is there anyway to make sure of TDC without degreeing a cam?

Evil_F

Yeah, there are markings on the crank and cam gear.
