Cam tool for holding lifters???
Ok, I like these, but they are pricey. Has anybody made a set of these, or what do you use to hold up the lifters while removing the cam with the Heads on? Thanks!
New cam on the way LG Motorsports G5X2 specs:
232/240 595/608 114

Most common method I have read about on here and LS1tech.com is to get 16 Pen-type telescoping magnetic pick-up tools and to bend the pocket clip out and extend down to the lifter and let that hold them.
Never tried it myself, did heads and cam at same time.
Good Luck!

Go get some 5/16" "wood dowel rod" to use instead of the high $$ aluminum ones.
