Camshaft removal

Great idea and very innovating. Generally when replacing the camshaft you replace the lifters. What would be involved in replacing the lifters after the cam is out with this system.

Here's the link to a past thread showing a lifter tool for installing lifters in the Y when the engine is in an upright position.

Removing the lifters is as simple as putting a tray in the cam tunnel and removing the lifters one at a time. In this instance, the clothes pin method works as you can drop the lifters one at a time on the tray. With all the lifters removed, the magnet may be good for holding the lifters in place as they are being installed one at a time.
