so i finally got tired of having no top end and decided to replace my 123,000 mile valve springs with some new comp cams 981's and some 1.6 roller rockers, so will i need new lifters or should they still be ok? it seams like most of the post regarding lifter replacement said that you dont need to replace the lifters,k so some input would be nice, thanks

 

You shouldn't need to place them. That is unless you have evidence that suggests they are collapsing (ticking, timing moving around, extreme loss of power).

 

THAT WHAT IM NOT SURE ABOUT, I GET TICKS OUT OF THE EXHAUST, YOU CAN HEAR IT IN THE HEADERS DURING IDLE, I'M NOT SURE IF ITS THE LIFTER TICKING OR THE VALVES MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED, AFTER VALVE LASH ADJUSTMENT, ABOUT 4-5 VALVES WILL HAVE SLOP RETURN AFTER RUNNING THE MOTOR, AND YOU CAN KEEP TIGHTNING THEM BUT THE LASH ALWAYS COME BACK AFTER THE MOTOR HAS SIT FOR 15 MINUTES, THE MOTOR IS ORIGINAL WITH 123,000 MILES

I JUST GOT MY NEW COMP CAMS 1.6 ROLLER ROCKER ARMS AND IT SAYS I NEED TO USE NEW PUSHRODS, I HAVE THE ORIGINALS ON THE CAR AND ANOTHER SET OFF OF A LOW MILE LT-1 MOTOR, IS IT REALLY NECESARRY TO REPLACE THEM OR WOULD THE NEWER ONES FROM THE LT1 MOTOR WORK OK, THEY HAVE LITTLE TO NO VISSIBLE WEAR
