Lifter Retainers

Is there any reason to replace these things? The one i have seem ok, but i do not know what everyone is doing with them? Should I replace them or just reuse?

depends what you want to do... I chose to replace them just for piece of mind since its only 20 bucks for the set of four. I had a lifter go south, and Im scared to death about turning a liftere sideways. Not that these plastic retainers would make a difference, but new ones couldnt hurt, right? I think most people dont bother replacing them.

I am going to replace mine. I think $20 in the overall cost budget is worth it.

Some of mine had slop in them allowing them the lifter to rotate 10-15degrees. For $20...it's probably worth it. I upgraded to the LS2 ones and drilled the oil holes in the side (1/4").

If they are loose then obviously it makes sense. Mine were OK though.
