Is there still a concern of wrecking a new cam and lifters these days?
Ages ago I remember buying the ceramic lifters due to this issue, but not sure if still needed or recommended. |

Buy matched cam and lifters together and you wont have a problem.
If you cann afford ceramic lifters (and can find them), I would go that route. EMW carries these: http://www.europeanmotorworks.com/pvw/054-.../T-4+Lifter+39g But at $650 for a complete set its a bit pricey |

I kinda like the EMW setup for reducing a bit of weight there.
Stout lifters also, never had issues on the 356,s Rich |
