well i tried all the thinners and carb cleaner and stuff but they still didnt come out and i pulled all the bolts out th eoil pan but realized the engine has to be pulled in order to actually remove it. then it dawned on me that i can just remove the cylinde rhead and the tool will be able to move up with the lifter with ou tthe head blocking it. oh well live and learn..but thanks for all the help.
