Not necessarily..
I was doing a cam change on my LS. Had spun the old cam to push the lifters into the pockets and then very carefully removed the old cam to then insert new cam, and then.... Thunk !! A lifter drops into the sump.
Apparently a heap of pen magnets and clothes pegs holding the lifters is the way to go.. Too late
I stepped back, had a bit of a think about it and decided to have a crack at re-inserting the lifter through the valley slots.
Made up holder for the lifter from a coat hanger and proceeded to fart around with the holder until the angles were right, then with the help of a pen magnet through the lifter bore managed to re-insert the lifter into the bore..
Should have been a proctologist Come to think of it... No.
Anyways... I doubt you can do it with all of he lifters but at least you can access some without removing the heads if need be.
