My old lifters and plastic lifter holders are out of the car....

I assume the best way to re-install them is to insert all four lifters in the plastic holder and push them in the block together (4 at a time) into the lifter bores; then bolt down the plastic holder..

Is this correct?

Dunno if its the easiest but that is the way I've always done it.

thats how I did it......seemed to be the only way it could be done.

I put my lifters in the engine one at a time, and then put the lifter cup over it. I did that to all 16 of them and had no problems. What difference would it make if the lifters go in before the cup or with it?

i usually pull the heads off first.

but that method of putting in four at a time seems to be the easiest.

I have not worked with roller lifters that have these plastic holders before, so I was concerned that the lifter roller tip would not align properly with the cam lobes and plastic holder cups if I put them in one-at-a-time....

If you installed the lifter one at a time, I assume they aligned correctly with the cam and plastic holders and it worked.

I was not sure it would....

Thanks...
