As you probably could have figured from the title, one of my lifters fell while doing my cam swap. I used the pen magnet method, and when i pulled the cam out, the intake lifter on the #3 cylinder fell down into the bottom end. I got the oil pan off and retrieved the lifter. I really hate to pull the head just to put ONE SINGLE lifter back in its tray. if anyone has any suggestions on how to get the lifter back into it's bore without removing the head, it will be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I had to think about that for a moment, LOL
Your definately pulling the head unless you can find a way to fish the lifter up into the lifter bore.
Why didn't you just get some steel rod to slide in there to hold the lifters up?
