I am doing a cam swap one of my lifters or multiple are noisy. Question. 110k miles and lifters are like 900 dollars for 16. I am keeping MDs, and going with stock replacement MDS cam. If I inspect lifters can I reuse the other lifters if they show no damage? Obviously the 8 MDs lifters are getting replaced. I welcome all thoughts. I understand it’s a crapshoot, but I may go with 2 sets OEM MDS lifters and reuse 8 of the others. I’m on a budget. But will spend the extra money for lifters that are good.
DO NOT jump over a dollar to save a dime! Buy ALL new lifters!
