you can take the lifters out with the intake on?

I can't speak to the newer engines,, but lifters can be removed, and pulled up thru the opening in the head. An intake bolt may have to be backed off a coupla turns if it projects thru the head,, but you can fish them out and change them.


I have a coupla tools to pull the lifters,, and a modified "fish-hook" remover to reach in and pull the lifter out of the valley,, or a magnet can be used as Oklacarcollecto suggested..

I've changed cams with-out taking the manifold off, ..
