hydraulic valve lifter tool?

Geezer,

Thanks for the help, 's what I thought. No mention of tool usually means you don't really need it. Ditto on checking heads - I have had bad luck with skimmed heads, even when run through an oven by a knowledgeable shop - one came back 0.050 out of true.

This isn't a good sign when a shop sends out a recon'd head that is that far out of spec. But when it's the only one around and freight isn't an option...
