Default Replacing my cam...???
I have a Comp Cam blower cam I've been running for 13,000 miles. At the time I did the cam I also put in new lifters.
Question I have is:
Do I need to swap out the lifters for new ones?
What lifters should I use if I do replace them?
Thanks,
John

That was the case with flat tappet lifters that wore to a particular lobe. These rollers will work with any cam
