How to Install pushrods without them falling inside engine
After replacing head on 4.0 and reinstalling pushrods, and without installing the rocker arms yet, two of the push rods seem to fall off the lifter and drop down inside the engine. This happens when I turn the crank. How do I prevent this?
Thanks,
Thanks,

Why are you turning the crank with pushrods in and rockers not installed yet?

Without the push rods and rockers there is nothing else there in the head to operate "smoothly". Those are the only moving parts. Your question is a bit concerning.
