An engine valve lifter lifting tool for facilitating removal and installation of a camshaft of an internal combustion engine by clearing a valve lifter of the. The use of engine repair tools is known in the.The present invention relates to engine repair tools and more particularly pertains to a new engine valve lifter lifting tool for lifting valves to clear a camshaft such that the camshaft is replaceable without having to remove the intake manifold. Description of the Prior Art. The use of engine repair tools is known in the prior art. Examples of engine repair tools related to engine camshafts include U. S. 6,1. 25,5. 37. While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the need remains for a device that will lift all engine valves to provide clearance from a camshaft to allow replacement of the camshaft without having to remove the intake manifold of the engine. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention meets the needs presented above by providing a plate having a plurality of rods each snugly inserted through a respective alignment tube to permit selective positioning of each rod within the respective alignment tube. Each rod includes a magnet to engage one of the valve lifters to hold the lifter clear of the camshaft. A respective plunger assembly is attached to each rod to detach the lifter from the magnet. An object of the present invention is to provide a new engine valve lifter lifting tool that permits replacement of a camshaft without having to remove the intake manifold of an engine. Another object of the present invention is to provide a new engine valve lifter lifting tool that simplifies camshaft replacement to save time during engine repairs.
To this end, the present invention generally comprises a plate having a plurality of rods each snugly inserted through a respective alignment tube to permit selective positioning of each rod within the respective alignment tube. Each rod includes a magnet to engage one of the valve lifters to hold the lifter clear of the camshaft. A respective plunger assembly is attached to each rod to detach the lifter from the magnet. There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto. The objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGSThe invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein: FIG. FIG. 2 is a schematic side view of the present invention. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTWith reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. As best illustrated in FIGS. The engine valve lifter lifting tool 1. A plurality of alignment tubes 2. Each of the alignment tubes 2. The plate includes at least one attachment hole 2. The attachment hole positioning may vary depending on the arrangement of the engine being repaired or refurbished. A plurality of rods 2. Each of the rods 2. A plurality of magnets 3. Each magnet 3. 0 is coupled to a bottom 3. A plurality of plunger assemblies 3. Each plunger assembly 3. Each plunger assembly 3. In an embodiment, each rod 2. The plunger assembly 3. Each rod 2. 8 includes a lip 4. In an embodiment, each rod has an outer diameter of 5/1. The magnet has a depth of about . Each rod is positioned in sufficient proximity to an associated valve lifter that the magnet engages the aligned valve lifter. Each rod is positioned within the alignment tube relative to the plate sufficient to hold the valve lifter in a position clear of the camshaft of the engine. The camshaft is then free to be replaced as desired. After installation of the new or repaired camshaft, each plunger assembly is used by placing fingers and thumb on the lip and head portion to squeeze them together thus urging the base portion of the plunger assembly through the magnet. The base of the plunger assembly extends sufficiently from the magnet such that the magnetic force is no longer sufficient to keep the valve lifter engaged to the magnet. Thus, the valve lifter is free and returns to it's position engaging the new or repaired camshaft. After each valve lifter is freed, the plate is removed from the engine block. With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
