I know I will catch some flak for this but here goes...
If you have to change the lifters in a few weeks it aint too hard. You can fish them out thru the pushrod covers.
WHEN you do change the lifters get new pushrods too. I used a rubber gasket but it was only a dollar or so more. Oreillys had to order it and it took 3 days to get the rubber gasket.
When you put on the new pushrod cover gasket be sure to put some RTV on there to hold the gasket in place. I just changed my gasket this week and GRAVITY was winning until the RTV. Also it has to set on the motor perfect or it will leak. You can loosen the cover and scoot it back in place.
