Default lifter swap from oil pan?
With the engine upside down on a engine stand can lifters be swapped out from the bottom end? Pan will be off anyway and was trying to bypass the head removal gasket cleaning process. Any info. or experiences doing it this way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Definitely not and your going to want to replace the trays as well so pull the heads.

worn trays can allow lifters to rotate in the bore(especially at higher rpm's )
