all you need to do is go to homedepot or lows and buy a 4ft 5/16" wooden dowl and cut it in half. cost is going to be around $1 with tax.

I did the 16 pen magnets...worked real well, and cost about a third of the JPR tool.

If you need exactly 5/16" dowels, take a micrometer or caliper with you...They are not all the same size.

Go for the mags or the dowel rods, like they said way cheaper then the tool..

I tried using 5/16" dowels and they wouldnt fit in the block, so i just spun the lifters into the trays and went for it.

Lucky for me, the motor only had 16k miles on it so it was nice and tight
