Anthony,

       Seeing as how the tappets must come up above the deck surface of the
block to remove them, you'd basically have to project all 12 tappet bores
up through the head.  I don't think there is enough material in the head to
do that without breaking through.  This is a great idea, and I'd love to be
wrong, so if you figure out a good solution, please do share!
