if im not mistaken jajaja is hahaha in spanish. or could just be one key over mistake. thanks for the good source on pen magnets btw

 

 

Easy now guys.....

As mentioned above, get yourself some pen magnets (16) and have at it. As KYSilverado mentioned you can get the lifters to sit in the trays but the magnets are a little insurance you dont create more work for yourself.

 

Gentlemen, keep it civil.


To the OP -- if your motor is ice cold, the lifter retainers will work fine, you just have to spin the cam enough that all the lifters go to their little homes.

 

When I did my swap I had the motor sit for a couple days. The first time I "flung" the lifters up I didn't spin the cam fast enough so I had to do it over again. I also bought some pen magnets and used wooden dowel for each side. The combo of the lifter trays and the wooden dowel worked for me. I only used the pen magnets for when I kept driping the spring locks

 

As if you haven't already got enough good info, what I recommend to folks to make them feel better about using the lifter trays; is after you lock the lifters up into the trays, take a pushrod and push each lifter back down onto the cam to see how much pressure it takes to do so. If they fall back down when you barely touch them, well then I wouldn't be too confident in the trays holding them up. If it takes a fair amount of pressure, you should be ok. If you already have one magnet (most folks do), you can actually pull the lifters up into the trays a little further than what the cam lobes will, locking them a little harder into the trays. Just pull them up until the magnet breaks free from the lifter. Of course if the trays still seem like they don't want to securely hold the lifters I would find another method.
