Most efficient way to remove a camshaft
I'm trying to replace my cam and lifters without pulling the head. Is it possible? The springs still load the lifters even with the keepers removed, and to remove the springs I will have to remove the head and lift the valves. Any ideas, or will I simply have to bite the bullet and take off the head?

Re: Most efficient way to remove a camshaft
According to Les Andrew's Book, page 1-46 it can be removed via the front timing gear cover (yeah removing that).

Also, keep the valves in order, along with everything else. FWIW
