You will need a strong magnet on a stick that fits in the pushrod holes
to hold up each lifter as you slip the cam in.
Wait a minute, you will need 8 magnets to hold the lifters as the old
cam comes out.
1275s do not have side covers like the small bore engines which would
make lifter removal easy. But....
Also the star drive on the oil pump end is just a friction fit and might
cause a headache trying to align,remove,replace.
As for the cam bearings, they are pressed in and should not be a
problem. It's the lifters and star drive and gravity you have to deal with.
It is a piece of cake with the engine upside down ;)
