when do you really need new lifters?

[jetuomi]

Well, I have a basement full of parts, minus the RPM2 intake and cam... When I get the new cam, is there anything else I should get (ie: lifters)? Or should I replace it all when I build up the bottom end next year? Just trying to budget ahead for January.. Tx !

Merry Christmas all !

The cam doesn't come with lifters? How many miles are on the car? You really don't need to change the lifters, it's not an absolute necessity, but it would be a good idea if you car has a lot of miles on it.

140,000 miles... I do think its a lot but the car is still very strong.. (75% of those are highway miles tho)..
