Canada	If I have a sticky lifter in my 235, can I just... 1- remove the rockers, 2 - take the side cover off, 3 - slide out the pushrods, 4 - remove the lifters 5 - clean the lifters with a carb cleaner to get the varnish off, 6 - put everything back EXACTLY where they came from? It makes sense to me but I'm not an experienced engine guy so I just wanted to ask. Thanks
