I would like some advice on replacing what I think is a bad/collapsed? lifter. Basically my son had a leaking pushrod cover so we decided to replace them. This is on a 1965 K10 292. On close inspection the #4 lifter appears to have an internal part that has tilted sideways and pushed the rod to the side. From what I can gather there is a clip to hold that in place? Anyway I read this quote while searching for answers.

Lifters on the 292 are easy to change and not expensive.
That being said, how easy, where do I get replacements? Really don't want to be taking the head off or removing camshafts, etc. Is it as easy as loosening that rocker arm, pulling rod to side, replace lifter, and readjusting? I know that I need to probably find a manual on the procedure to get the adjusting specifications(those would be helpful if someone knows them). I've had experience with the 216 and have that manual, not the 292's. Long story short can I just replace the one lifter alone or do I have to buy all new lifters and pushrods? What else should I take note of? thanks, 641workmaster

Update: Yes they are avail. anywhere under $5 so now I'd just like to get it replaced today if possible.
