Great looking car you got there.
I pull them out every so often, clean them up in solvent and spend some time time checking them for "sticky wheels" or bearings that feel funny. Usually when a bearing gets damaged, one of the rollers will get a flat spot on it that you can feel just by rolling the wheel in the palm of your hand. If nothing found, oil them up again and reinstall.
Yours might be fine, but it might be nice to have a look.
It's either do that, or the other approach: keep an eye on the valve lash, and pay attention to the noise. If one ever gets noisy and opens up suddenly, don't run it any more...not at all....if you're on the road, call a rollback.
I'm overdue to check mine out and will probably do it this year.

Great info guys, so far I'm checking valve lash and keeping my ears open to any one lifter louder than the rest. I posted this as I didnt want to send them out for rebuild prematurely or have a catastrophic failure..Thanks for the kudo's my X..Zippy.
I've gone close to 8000mi on a set of Comp 928 lifters. This is a mild street roller with 190 on the seat and 450 over the nose. I finally chickened out a bought a set of Crane Ultra Pro lifters. I've pulled two of the Comps out (pretty tricky to do in a Hemi with intake on) and they look good. Once I pull the intake I'll look at the rest before swapping them.
