Installing the cam today and the worst thing happened... i just cleared the second cam journal and i heard a lifter drop...
My daughter was like "are lifters not supposed to drop?"
So obviously it kinda killed any motivation i had. It was about lunch time and summit is like 20 mins away. I made a plan to go eat lunch and then we will head over to summit to get a head gasket set.
Toward the end of lunch i decided, why dont we just order it and just work on other stuff for the rest of the day. When we get back she was like "why don't to just put it back?" I told her it's not really an option because it has to be inserted from the top where the head is bolted on.
I looked in from the bottom since the oil pan is off, and i was wonder "what if i just used a flex magnet and just put it back in from where it fell out?. Ive never heard of anyone doing that and i had nothing to lose.
I used 2 magnets to hold on to the body next to the roller. I put it back and i was like No Fn way! That worked!
