hey whats up. i have a quick question. is there a way to remove my lifters out of my 5 litre engine (85 mustang gt) by just removing the rocker arms and pushrods. cause when i have those 2 parts off the head i can see the lifter clearley. could you use a strong magnet and pull the lifter up with that, or something along those lines. thanks. i just dident want to take the carb and intake off right now cause i need the car for work.

I think 50resto sells a kit that allows you to remove the lifters with the intake still on. From what I hear it doesn't work that well and most people say its easier to just yank the intake.
