[QUOTE="BenBB, post: 1725753, member: 20185"] Well hell, at least that Lisle tool makes removal easy! I think you're right about those rearmost cylinders, I have a feeling the firewall/cowl is going to interfere. Looking forward to plan B heh, here's hoping the next tool works better! I was wondering about those little retainer bastards going back in, I was hoping to slather them with a sticky assembly grease and stuff them in the spring hat, but even then I'm not sure. Definitely going to line the head with rags, good to hear the engine didn't eat any of em heh. From what I've read the rocker tips are actually little hydraulic lifters. Funny thing is that on my '13, there's not any of those orange phenolic sleeves, just like a spherical thing with a flat side that meets the valve stem. Ford doesn't sell them separately, or even the individual rockers that I can see, just the whole shaft assembly (like you said, not too expensive but not cheap either). The other funny thing is that after scouring forums I found one mention here of a collapsed lifter (no further details, was supposedly replaced under warranty) and another that said some of those lifters could be pushed in and out by hand but others didn't move at all (not sure if he freed up the stuck ones or just replaced the assembly). Mine didn't move at all when I had them out, but I did notice there's an oil hole right above them on the rocker... Great to hear the last head bolt torque sequence went smoothly!! Appreciate the updates! [/QUOTE]
