You can try to add one of the engine cleaning additives which you run for a couple of minutes before an oil change.

This may clean stuff enough to allow you to remove the lifters if they are stuck due to gunk .

Invert car, shake vigorously.

Hello,
OK, it's not my Imperial lifters, but I'm throwing
myself on the mercy of the list. Hopefully it applies
to Mopars as well.
I need to replace the lifters in my straight 6
cyl. '63 Ford(!) Falcon, but they don't pull out with
a magnet; they pull up about 1/8" and hit some kind
of stop. Pulling gently on them with needle-nosed
pliers won't budge them. Does anyone know what the
trick is to getting them out?

thanks
Bruce S
