Are there serious consequences? I have Solid Lifters and they seem to be in Good shape. I mean Brand Spankin' New ones aren't that expensive,($85-90 for 12) but if I can use the ones I've got..Why not? Thanks!

If you look at service manuals, lifters must be kept in order to be be able to put them back in the same hole. It makes no difference what engine you are working on, you should never put used lifters on a new cam. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 72 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 72 | Took a look and I will be buying new lifters.

Thanks for the info! Been away from tinkering with engines for quite some time, so I am slowly catching up to speed and learning about stovebolts as I putter forward. | | |
