Cam install question?

After installing a new cam and using the pen magnet method to help retain the lifters, what keeps the lifters in the block and not coming completely out when removing the pen magnets? Is the a stop that will hold the down on removal? Getting ready for install and any answers or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

Yes there is some sort of retainer that keeps the lifters from pulling all the way out when pulling off the magnets.

A plastic lifter holder is under the heads and will keep them from coming out.

Re: Cam install question?

what jmx said, there is a reatainer in the block, after you remove the rockers, rotate the engine 360 degrees and they will hang in the retainers until you replace the rockers and set them.
