there very easy to get out, u can use either a magnet which doesnt have to be that strong or use one of those plungers which are used to lap valves in, they hold them good enough to get them out. one my x14xe it never used to tap untill i done an oil/filter change with castrol gtx highmileage (15/40) after that they tapped like mad constantly. when u change them i'd personaly use some semi synthetic 10/40... | |

a good smear of cam lube on the lobes when fitting new lifters is a good idea. | |

lifters are not the heavy so your average magnet should do. | |
