[SEL] Spam> OT - Ford Engine Lifter

[Andy Nicholson]

Hello Joe, The Ford engines here in Australia, the lifters can't be removed 
with out taking off the head on 6 cyl's
or valley cover on the V8's.
There are oil additives that could help, but are only a temp measure, ie 
like if you'er selling the vehicle.

Hi Guys,
I have an "Off Topic" question - - -
In my '72 Ford engine, there is a valve lifter that keeps trying to 
collapse.  If I stop the engine and count to 10, the lifter seems to 
recover.
Question :::   Is it possible to remove Ford lifters without taking off the 
head and/or intake manifold and shied ?
I am thinking of trying to insert something down through the push rod hole 
in the head and grab the lifter and pull it out.   - - - Possible ?
