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. Remove intake, valley plate, and heads, then you can remove a lifter...

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
