Possible to Rebuild Stock Roller Lifters?
I think I collapsed one of my roller lifters with a misadjustment on my roller rockers. Is it possible to rebuild these? Or should I just call it a day and get a new set of roller lifters? I'm really tempted to just get a set of used roller lifters but some other options have been keeping me curious (see Rhoads lifters in LS1's thread). So I figured I would throw the question to the forum members for review. Thanks in advance everyone.

For the average person, no. Even top dollar lifters need to be sent back to the factory to be properly rebuilt. It's not as simple as just installing new bearings.
You don't have to change all of them. You can buy individual lifters or pairs to replace the damaged ones.
