Keep old roller lifters or buy new?

[89stang10sec]

I am rebuilding my 5.0, it will have ported heads, ported edelbrock perf RPM, x-cam, 70mm TB, 150 shot nitrous, and all the supporting hardware,6500 rpm max. My question is, should I reuse my roller lifters or by new ones? If I reuse how can I tell if they are still good?

Mine had 100K on them when I rebuilt my motor so I went ahead and replaced them because the cam card said to. If it didnt have many miles I dont see why you would need to replace.

Yea id say it depends on how many miles they have on them. FMS lifters are known to take a good beating tho.

While you have everything apart it would be a good idea to replace them...Its only about $115 dollars and its good insurance...

hydrolic roller lifter don't go bad...unless your cam is bad...if you had solid tappet lifter than you would have to replace them with a cam swap...save your $$$.

If you are going to replace all those little items your going to need new gaskets and all you mis'well just do the lifters while your at it...
