    These are the tools.

    The hooky thing is used to depress the lifter and you reach right around the lobe with weird pliers to pick out the shim.

    If you're going nuts with the cam/revs with a solid lifter head it's possible to convert to the type of lifters with the adjustment underneath. Apparently Fiat lifters are the go. In extreme applications the cam can flick the shims out.

    Big lift cams may also require clearancing of the head and the use of short teflon stem seals.
