Default Changing Lifters...how?

Whats involved with changing the lifters? Do I just need to take off the intake, fuel rails, and valve covers? Or do the heads have to come off too?

No, unless a roller is bad on the lifter.

In an attempt to possibly save you time and frustration.... why do you want/need to replace your lifters?
