I would get the jrp rods to hold up those lifters. Once u get inside the engine, your lifters need to be hanging up on the plastic lifter try inside the engine. Most of the time they do not hold up and the cam job cannot be done. U can get the JRP Rods or wooden dowel rods with a flat top on them. You can stick them in the front of the engine when everything else is off. Just my.2

This one. The one from GM is TTY and is NOT reuseable. The ARP one is reuseable and slightly longer which helps in removal and installation.
