No they can't. You will have to remove the heads to get the lifters out.

You don't have to remove the lifters to change a cam. There is a tool that will hold them up. Don't know where to get it, but I've heard of em.

I think I have a lifter going bad. If I have to go through all that to change lifters the stock heads are not going back on. Just have to save up some more money.
