Cam and lifters

I have a lifter knock in my 5.7TPI and I'm going to tear apart the motor and might as well replace the cam etc while it's apart. Any suggestions?

Re: Cam and lifters

Why are you tearing apart the whole motor for a "lifter knock" ?

Re: Cam and lifters

it needs valve seals and I have a set of Vortec heads that have been redone so while I'm taking that all apart I might as well take care of the lifters and put a cam in it right away
