It always was aproblem to pull out the lifters on those engines. That is because the lifter fit very tight in the bore and a little varnish built up on the side of the lifter towards the bottom where is did not slide in the block. They make a tool for removing lifters, called a "liftr puller". It hooks under the retaining spring on top.
To clean the lifter you remove the retaining spring and little cap. Then pull out the piston inside. That is was can cause a lifter to stick. Be careful as the is a check ball inside there.
