can i replace my lifters through my heads?
im going to be replacing my lifters and valve springs and i was wondering if it was possible to take the lifters out through the heads so i only need to take off my rocker covers instead of the manifold?
No the inlet manifold has to be removed. don't use new lifters on an old cam. you will chew a lobe off very easily.

would it really wear it out that quickly on a stock motor?

also what about valve springs??
can i just remove my rocker cover and replace them and if so how do i get them out and put new ones in? is there any trick to it? do i need a spring compressor or something?
Too many projects.....
Using new lifters on a used cam will destroy both the cam and lifters in no time....Is there any reason why you are replacing the lifters?? As PREDATR said, it's a manifold off job!
Valve springs can be done in the car by just removing the rocker covers & rockers, but you need a valve spring compressor.

replacing the lifters cos there ****ed but i will leave the lifters for now just gonna put in my new valve springs.
you cant get better lifters hey? like even in a 355 or 383 stroker u would still use the standard ones?
Use anti pump lifters for a hyd cam and solid lifters for solid cam and roller lifters for roller cam... brands are different but yeah none are "better" than the other as such. just don't buy some dodgy brand...
why do you want to change valve springs? whats that supposed to achieve... if you don't have a different cam the stock valve springs are fine and i dont see them being worn out as such...

It would depend on how many kays the car has done and how its running before you would do the springs, after all these years the surely springs have compressed?

If its done that many kms the lifters and springs are gone... whats the point of changing them... the rest of the motor inside can't be to flash...
