Yea I read engine is still in. I guess if you can't pry it out with an awl or something you will have to pull cam and try drilling hole in bottom. Use a tool like a dent puller with a screw in the end, it has a metal weight you slap back toward the handle. Or depending on location you could remove cam and gently tap it down hopefully catching debri so it don't fall into the pan.

you could always drill a hole in it put a large socket over lifter hole and have a long screw and washer tighten screw and it should pull lifter into socket , be sure to use a lot of PB or Kroil .
