Sometimes you just gotta take the manifold off, some lifters are gooped right up,, but a relatively fresh engine, or well maintained,, this is a real time/money saver for the me/customer..
I'm a flat rate mechanic,, do things the quickest, most efficient way poss,, with no come-backs..
I've got that tool and a coupla others,, they often don't fit down the pushrod hole.. One you can take the bottom off and drop down into the valley and try to reassemble it thru the pushrod hole..They actually make lifter puller tools. KD tools and Lisle used to make one. A long thin tool, you stick it down inside the recess in the lifter. You turn it, and the stem expands the end inside the lifter
