Help! Lifter knock after lifter and cam swap

[Rda007]

Just a update. Removed the heads had them machined and washed. Checked the lifters and all roller bearings look good. No visable damage to them and they roll well. I also used a camera and looked at each camshaft lobe and it looked fine, no denting visable. The truck only ran a short time so I'm hoping I'm lucky. Got a OEM headgasket from dodge and cleaned the deck again using acetone after removing all the gasket material. Heads were bolted on yesterday using a new torque wrench. So just putting everything together to start up. Wish me luck.

That’s a very thorough inspection, well done. Keep up posted and good luck.

Did he say he used new head bolts anywhere or continued to use the same set?
