I don'tlike to take any chances when it comes to stuff like that. I have enough hell as it is. My luck every damn one of them would end up in the oil pan. Then I'd really be kickin myself in the ass!

Yeah I would use the wooden dowel method at least. I would be the 1st person you ever heard of having a lifter drop if I tried it without anything trust me, my luck sucks when it comes to this sort of thing. Why would you want to risk it without anything holding your lifters up? I can think of other ways to get thrills
