Replacing a bad lifter. Quick rocker question

[Puddin Tang]

Quick addition, it's hydraulic lifters and I was under the impression sohc valves have retainers on them so the valve doesn't drop as soon as the rocker is removed. However, I'm concerned about what appear to be the valves for the secondaries. Are these like valves on a pushrod engine or am I just worrying too much?

Also, where the edit post button?

The valves will stay together. When you remove the timing belt, make sure you have the timing marks set for TDC as it'll save you headaches when you reassemble it (there are 3 of them - crank, balance shaft and cam - you won't have to worry about the secondary balance shaft as it's timed to the crank) You 'may' be able to get away with not removing the timing belt and leaving the cam in place while you remove the rocker rails but it's a gamble. Something to pin the cam down between #3 and #4 valve banks will stop it from trying to lift itself out of the cam bed.
