Is it possible to test the litters by removing just the cam covers.

Nope, you need to pull them out. They are pretty easy to pull apart and clean, the biggest problem is they gum up inside and stick. It's possible for the small cap inside to get cocked over and jam the lifter out. They can be a little noisy at idle but then open the valve an extra mm or so when it gets good oil pressure causing a miss. It's about an hours job once they're out to strip them, clean them and reassemble them, there's not really any wearing parts except the top of the bucket itself where the cams run on it.

There is one type of lifter that you cant strip down easily but I've only seen them once and think they are aftermarket.

Once they're cleaned they are as good as new.
