I think you are supposed to spin the cam, to push the lifters up, then the rod hold them there I just finished mt cam swap, but used the pen magnets method. Fofr me, spinning the cam by hand quickly pushed my lifters up easily. Good luck.

the 98s holes are smaller, file the edge down on the rod make it look like a "D"
