Question???

[Smokin_GMC]

I plan on putting a cam in my truck pretty soon and I know you're supposed to replace the lifters but do i need to replace the rockers as well?

[skeet]

no need to replace the lifters not the rockers, pending on lift will depend on the springs and locks and retainers

[Smokin_GMC]

by not replacing the lifters it will cause faster cam wear wont it? so no need to replace lifters or rockers? i plan on running a 220/220 on a 581 lift. comp 918 springs hold up to .625 lift so that should work right? i've never done a cam swap in a gen III motor so i have questions

[skeet]

no problem ask all the questions you may have, theres alot of knowledge here on the site, correct theres no need to change rockers or lifters unless they are just plain wore out!!

theres a how too guide for cam swaps i'll see if i can find it for ya!!!

i appreciate it man. my truck only has 84000 miles on it so all my internals should be good wouldnt you think?

WWW.LS1HOWTO.COM check that out for how to do it properly on an Fbody. Never replace the lifters unless you're having problems with them or you pull the cam out and a lobe looks as rough as concrete.

Roller lifters don't have to be replaced with a cam unless they're messed up. Flat tappet lifters should always be replaced with a cam (unless you have the secrets).
