Default Ls7 lifter install questions

Ok people, I need sum help on this ls7 lifter tsp pushrod install. I got new gm gaskets the heads n new gm bolts as well, gm ls7 lifters, tsp 4140 chromoly hardened pushrods, i got felpro valve cover gaskets and felpro intake manifold gaskets. About 3 weeks back i blew a shift had 3 bent pushrods n 1 collapsed lifter, so yes i got a lil ticking clicking noise. I wanna do the job on saturday for my day off just a one day thing, but i ran out of money for now till my next paycheck, question is can i take it all apart n bolt it all back up using all the new stuff? Or is there special things i gotta do? Like get the heads checked or block checked? The car runs beautiful never had a problem still runs smooth never overheated or nothing, 98 camaro nbm 6 speed ttop wit 95370 miles on it, i do all the services top notch fluids n liquids only.... Wat do yall think?

Since the lifter collapsed, you will want to look at the cam too to see if that got messed up. Also if any metal parts got into the motor, will need a new oil pump. Drop the oil pan, cut open your oil filter to check for metal debris. Good luck.

Just make sure you check the cam also, if it's damaged, it will damage the new lifters as well. Post pics!!
