Can you change the lifters without removing the heads on these? Is that what those ports in the valley are for?

I think the rest of the industry should be shaking in their little space boots at this point.

the "windows" are so you can get to the BOLTS for the 12 o'clock position in the head. They bolt in from the bottom, so no holes in the intake port.

I assume we need a special tool to properly torque the subject bolts in such a tight area

If i remember from PRI, there should be enough room to get a 3/8" drive torque wrench in there with a shallow socket.

But I'll be able to measure for sure this weekend with any luck
