interested to hear how you guys held your lifters in place. This cam swap isn't complicated but its kinda turning out to be a PITA. I have the motor out of the car and sitting on a dolly.
Cant get the crank pulley bolt off without turning the motor over but my buddy's got a cordless impact good till 500lb/ft that may do it and if not hes got an air impact good for more than that.
So I hope thats taken care of. I was gonna get the JPR lifter tool but for 105$ for something I'll use once it seems like a waste

Heard of people using dowels and pen magnets but don said hes seen the magnets come off and I've read of lifters still falling out of place enough that you cant get the new cam in even with some wooden/metal dowels from home depot.
Wanted to see if anyone had that tool or what they suggest, I'm leaning towards the metal dowels from home depot, which will keep the lifters supposedly from dropping all the way, and at least allow you to get to it with a pen magnet.
Otherwise for a real simple job.. couple things are bein a real PITA.
If you guys got anything I could borrow I would GREATLY appreciate it. A small part of me still thinks I may have the car ready to race on the 19th which is the first road race event of the year. I plan to head to the cape after dyno day and do the cam swap, so if your goin to the dyno day I could meet you there.
Thank you thank you thank you in advance
