Well, me and my buddy degreed the cam today and put the heads on. Well, I thought I would be able to put the lifters in after like on any other make (Dodge, Chevy)!!

So, i have to loosen the head bolts and lift the head a little to get them in. Will my new gaskets be ok?

I shouldn"t have told you that, this is not my Junk. What I do on mine, will only effect my stuff. I was typing, talking on the phone, and not thinking.

I don't know if I am going to take a chance for a $50 part. May just get a new one to be safe.
