Use the lifter trays if they will work at all. Spin the cam with the push rods out and try and "sling" the lifters into the trays. I used aluminum rods, the 5/16 rod required a flat ground down one side to slide in.

i put the 5/16 rod all the way in but the first lifter on the right and the last one on the left still fall the 3/8 rod ii did the flat ground on one side but i only got it half way i might grind it a little more see if that will work
