Cam I should use?

So, got the lifter removal tool, got the lifter out of its bore, BUT the oil drain back hole by the removed lifter is too small. BUT a hole in the center looks bigger, fished lifter to the bigger hole, BUT that hole is too small as well. No way to get lifter out of engine without removing intake. I probably could remove casting flashing, but with heads on engine no way to get debris out of valley area. SO.... off with the intake. Boo Hoo
