If they're worn out, it's highly unlikely there's enough cam left to work right. Be sure to do the 20-minute break-in run at 1500 RPM or so before you let the engine idle, or you'll damage both the cam and the new lifters. It basically has to establish a new wear pattern, and the cam/lifter assembly needs to be flooded with splash oil off the crankshaft while that's happening. Jerry
