You guys think that throwing in some fresh roller lifters, for that new camshaft isn't very important? I do realize that the lifters are virtually the same from perf. ones, but wouldn't it be some more insurance on those new bigger more aggressive cam lobes to just get gm ls7 ones for $8? a piece, and have a stock new roller wheel surface to plant on you cam? What do you guys think?
Of course this means the heads must come off, so you need head gaskets and bolts. Another question, is everyone replacing the head bolts upon head reinstall as recommended, or are we getting away without it? I replaced mine when i tore down, but was wondering.
