Re: valve lifters
you talking the shims? Or the buckets?
Eitherway you are going to have to install them, install teh cams and use a feeler gauge to check clearances and remove the cams and adjust accordingly.
Not screwed....or needing to buy new ones...just have a bunch more work than if you had them organized
