Anyone with experience replacing the tappets (hydraulic lifters or cam followers) in the 1994 960 (B 6304 G) engine. My main concerns are as follows:
1) In removing the top half of the cylinder head to expose the camshafts & tappets, the manual recommends using a couple of tools that allow the to cylinder head to come up evenly. I would think you could just remove the hold-down bolts a little at a time to accomplish the same thing. they also want you to use these tools to push the head pieces together before securing with the bolts. 2) Will I be able to pull out the tappets using a suction cup, magnet, or just a pair of pliers? Your comments and anything else I should be aware of will be greatly appreciated.
