Just curious how many people are using their stock lifters with aftermarket camshafts. If you are, what cam and how many miles do you have?

Right now I have the TR 224 cam with stock lifters, and never have any problems. I was thinking about switching cams to something around the Torquer v.2, and I think the stock lifters should be fine with only 22,000 miles on them. Just wanted to see what everybody else has because I don’t want to pull the heads yet.

i think that you will find alot of people use the stock lifters until the heads have to come off.

I put new stockers in when I had the heads off. Might as well, cheap insurance.

replaced stock lifters at 85K due to poorly finished cam. Replacement stockers are going on 30K with the T2 cam.

TR224 cam here with 918's for ~30K miles and no problems yet. Also swapped heads about 2K miles ago and inspected the lifters while I was in there. All looked good so I dropped them back in.
