A comment was made about lifter replacement when I was asking about rebuilding the top end [pistons, cylinders and heads]. I was looking at the Pelican site and it says not to replace the lifters if you are not replacing the cam. It will cause premature wear...true?

You need to replace the cam and the lifters at the same time. If not, one will be harder than the other and will wear at different rates. I have a friend that installed new lifters and it wore the cam lobes down so that they were round. Valves wouldn't open-not good.
