installing new cam, should I replace lifters in high mileage car?
As stated above the car has about 146,000 miles on it, runs like a top. Ive searched posts about this but wanted to get some more opinions.
I'm going to be installing the Cmotorsports cam/rocker package, should I replace the lifters that have this many miles on them? Also, If I decide to use the stock lifters, how do you inspect them, what should I look for to determine if they are still in good shape?

I'd just replace them ($200 for 16 from NAPA) just because they freeze over time and a Cam install takes so much effort that you might as well replace all your valvetratin components (except for valves) while you're at it.

IDOXLR8,
I'm near the southeast corner of 12 and Rochester, yourself?
