WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP & HAVE NOT LOST A LIFTER YET.SLIDING THE NEW ONE WORKS THE SAME, BE SLOW THOUGH.
Yes we are aware of that, but some don't hold lke mine didn't. That's what 35k of Mobil 1 will do. Slick city!!!! For a small investment, why risk it though.

Yeah, I'm not taking a chance of dropping a lifter though!!! With my shitty luck and this being my first cam swap on top of that...HELL NO!!!!! I beleive that you dealer tech with all your training have no problems, but ol' shadtree KY boys have to do all we can to keep from having problems!! Thanks for the advice though CARAZY!!
