That really is a bummer... To bad the builder didn't step-up and make it
Right.. Good Luck..
 
I think you have the wrong lifters. If you rotate enough that the lifter is all the way up and you can’t get a wrench on the flats of the lifter, then it’s too short. Look at how much thread there is between the body of the lifter and the adjustable part. Do you have the cam rotated to bring a lifter to its highest point?
 
Maybe part of the problem here is terminology. The lifter is a different part then the valve. We can't be on the same page if wrong terminology keeps being used. So if you are talking about lifters call them that. The valves have NOTHING to do with access to the flats used to hold them on the lifters. Does not matter if the adjuster is screwed all the way down. zip 0 nada

I am sorry but the person asking the question has been directed to how to adjust in this case and has been given several examples of ways to do it. The small screwdriver idea sounds like a good way to put a burr/nick in the lifter hole. Pulling the head or using a C type valve spring compresses with head in place, I don't think are necessary. They also have never even said if they had checked the gap to see if adjustment was needed that I have seen.
