Sometimes adding a pint of ATF (but not Type F) to the oil will help 
clean or dislodge dirt that may be causing the lifter to hang up. That 
said, if the engine needs work, additives won't fix the problem.

You can try to add one of the engine cleaning additives which you run 
for a couple of minutes before an oil change.
This may clean stuff enough to allow you to remove the lifters if they 
are stuck due to gunk .

Invert car, shake vigorously.

Sorry, just kidding. Try http://fordsix.com/forum.

OK, it's not my Imperial lifters, but I'm throwing
myself on the mercy of the list. Hopefully it applies
to Mopars as well.
I need to replace the lifters in my straight 6
cyl. '63 Ford(!) Falcon, but they don't pull out with
a magnet; they pull up about 1/8" and hit some kind
of stop. Pulling gently on them with needle-nosed
pliers won't budge them. Does anyone know what the
trick is to getting them out?
