lifters
 

Should I replace my lifters when I am putting a new cam in? The crane ad says to reuse the stock lifters.......

You can but why not just get new ones? Crane sells a set for $100, can't beat that.

They say with rollers you don't have to, but how often are you in there? might as well do it

I took an auto tech course & they told us that when ever you replace a cam, you must replace the lifter or vise versa, otherwise the new part you put in will get worn out by the old one very quickly.

With a roller cam you cam re-use the lifters providing that they are in good shape. How many miles are on the engine? If it's high you might want to go with new ones.It's cheap insurance.
