If a lifter does fall down during a cam swap...
you dont have to pull the heads to replace it.. With some surgical precision you can feed a lifter down the cam hole and grab it with a magnet through the push rod bore and feed it back in place. I would have said no way but we just did it with 2 lifters..

It would seem removing the heads is the easy part?

I just love it when a vender gets on here and helps the folks.
I love it because so many just post dynos and hope you call them because they have big number.
I had two choices when I had my cam installed, and my selection was ECS. They were great and did more than I asked them to do, they knew Id like it, and didnt charge me for the work. I left there wishing I could change jobs with them.
Plus, they give free advice on the phone and on the web. I knew they were right for me because I never felt like were going to take me for a ride.............. but maybe my car.
Chris PM me some info on clutches your using, price, and any other head with prices other than arf/
