Question 99 F150 Would like some expert chat

Technical Electronics Background, Graduate Monmouth University and RETS National Education Center, New Jersey. Living just outside of Tucson, AZ. Torn between to lovers, Chevrolet (is that word allowed on this site?) Small block 350 and Ford 4.6 Triton. I do all my own mechanical work with a passion. I'm very impressed with my 99 F150 well built truck nd super dependable. The overhead cam can be a bit problematic. Pulling a Chevy small block head is a skill level comparable to falling off a log. Pulling a Triton head is, you got to be f-ing me! Most mechanics don't even entertain pulling a Triton head, they would rather do a complete long block R&R. Strange as that may sound...

Valve cover being removed hoping I can fix the rocker and lifter on exhaust valve for #6. I need advice. Trying to avoid pulling the head. MarkMannM2

Why is it so Difficult?!;I have a 2000 F-150 XLT Triton as well a 4.6. Is it just the Triton Head?
