cam install questions After finding a bad/flattened lifter and the subsequent damaged cam lobe my hopes for a simple head gasket swap quickly died. Should I replace all my comp lifters, or just replace the damaged one? With ~80,000 miles on the lifters I figured it might be a better idea to swap in a set of LS7 lifters(would this be considered a downgrade?).
Thanks for any help...

Trying to stick to a budget on this install. Yes, I am changing the valve springs. I actually purchased them before I found out the cam was toast.
