I recently purchased a fresh 468 for my K5. When I got it home I pulled it apart to find out what components were in it. The person I bought it from could not find the paper work.
Anyway, I'm getting ready to install a new cam and lifters. I noticed that when I was removing the installed lifters, one was a little stubborn to get out and another one I had to grab with channel locks to pull it out.
I have tried different lifters in the lifter bores in question with the same results. The area where the squeeze is being applied is at the bottom of the bores.
I'm concerned b/c I don't think the lifters will be able to rotate, especially in the hole where channel locks were required to remove the lifter.
Is this a valid concern? If so, how should I remedy this? A small hone tool?
