Considering how difficult it is to replace them after the heads are on, I vote save the money and do it right so your not doing it later. My car had only 36K on it when a lifter dropped on JPR when he was building my engine. I have new lifters now, Comp-R I believe.

Replace them. I wish I had. Much cheaper to do it now.

during my head swap at 96k miles i swapped out my lifters with some new comps oe style ones. the stock ones didnt look all that bad but i figured since i had the heads off why not.
