Sweet! Thanks for the info C2!

I plan on waiting for a warm Saturday and I'll start unbolting the easy stuff Friday night when I get home from work and start early sat morning. Hopefully have it done by night fall.

Now, another question about lifters...

I have read some places that you have to replace the lifters when you swap cams. However I have only read that for brand new cams that have not been broken in. Since they are used cams, how strongly recommended is it to replace the lifters?

How would a lifter go bad in the first place, other than getting clogged up on the inside or ticking badly? All they do is push the valve down when the cam pushes it down correct?
