Noisy liffters

I brought my car and a lot of work was done to motor is there a way to pull lifter and find what the size is to replace all of them or should i just swap cam and lifter i believe it happened from oil pump being at minimum specs for ls motor so should i just replace cam while in there replacing oil pump

Learn to be more specific, what type of work was done?

Be very specific.

Yes I would do lifter, cam, push rods and rockers. I dont know what oil pump they used but I would consider that as well

Did you get an aftermarket cam ? No need to replace then. It could be aftermarket valve springs and/or lifters that are making more noise..

Talk to a good vendor about replacement lifters, there are some very good ones to replace your stock ones with...if you so choose to open up the motor just to replace lifters
