Thanks for the quick responses!!!!

After allowing blood to flow back to my brain, I realized I had pulled a
Homer.

They came out easily using a magnet tool.

D'oh!

All-

I have searched the archives and review the bentley, but have not found
clear indication on how to exactly remove the hydraulic lifters out of the
block.

As I look at them, there appears to be a sleeve in front of the lifters. am
I correct? Is it just a matter of pulling the sleeve out, then drawing

the lifter out? Any suggestions on the easiest way to get the sleeves out?

TIA
