Well it's really kind of iffy. Things is that you have to pull the heads. Which means new head gaskets and bolts. Depends on how far you want to go. If it were mine I wouldn't put new lifters in untill I decides to swap heads.

Its a pain in the add to replace lifters if you wernt going to do a head swap now. Id wait till youre ready to do heads. Most of the recent failures showing up have been caused by the cam, and if the cam is bad, it dosnt matter how new the lifters are.
