1. Insert the tappet holder in the lifter bore so
that the magnetic head of the tool holds the
lifter in position. Check to see if the tool has
captured the valve lifter by drawing upward
on the tool. A resistance will be felt that
cannot be felt if the magnet has contacted
something other than a valve lifter.
2. Secure the lifter in the UP position with
grommets provided with the tappet holders.
The holding tool shafts of two adjacent valve
lifters can be prevented from dropping by
wrapping a rubber band around the two
shafts. This draws the shafts together and
holds them in position. Refer to Figure 315.
