so have a bad lifter in my 6.0. finally had a chance today to pull the heads to get at the lifters and of course that lifter is stuck like no other. its the exhaust valve lifter on cyl 3. it comes up a half inch or so then dead stops. so can i pull the cam with the lifter stuck in there? wanting to pull it then push the lifter into the cam area. is this doable without tearing the whole engine down? and also the exhaust valve smacked the piston. dont look like it was super hard but definitely left a mark. planning on changing the valve but was wondering if anybody had any idea what would make the valve hit the piston with just a bad lifter?
