lifter question

How long do the stock lifters last on our cars. Just had a cam installed and now I have a tick up front. Cam is a small one 230/224 .576/ .562. Could the lifters be going already?

i have never heard of a stock lifter going bad w/ normal spring pressures. do you put hardened pushrods in w/ the cam? if not could be a bent PR. What springs are you running? most springs out use stock lifters without problems.

Running 977 springs from comp cam will have advers effects on stock lifters.

I have chromemoly pushrods and Comp 918 springs. I am hoping that an exhaust leak from the header could cause a tick. I have two leaks to fix next week.
