Buy new. I've never liked the thought of installing used parts. Especially items like that being they are fairly inexpensive new.

If youre in a budget and as long as you know that the used ones can be in worse shape than your current ones, then go for it. I bought used ones and never had a chance to install them. They looked good when i got them but next time around, im buying new.

**** buying used lifters. Did that before. Long story short i ended up re doing the job and installing new lifters. DO NOT BUY USED LIFTERS. the new LS7 lifers are only $130-$150 or something like that. I hate the LS7 lifters by the way i think they are garbage. other opinions may vary
