No need to change oil and if you have low miles you can use your lifters. The lifters can be held in the bore with a magnet set using cloths pins or clips made from binders. the service manual shows how to make the clips.
I replace the lifters exactly as I find them , the oil holes are usually facing out, at least that is how they are from the factory. I really don't think it matters tho, correct me here if I am wrong.DLRVelocity1 said:2 most excellent and critical notes here....The o-rings to hold the lifters up out of the way is an excellent idea, Thanks....and the fact that the lifter oiling holes must face in is absolutely critical....
