Quote: flat tappet, I've heard to ALWAYS use new lifters--the lifters and the cam lobes seat to each other, and bad things could happen even if you mate a used cam to it's broken in lifters IF YOU DON'T KEEP THE LIFTER WITH THE SAME LOBE IT WAS BROKE IN ON
for the small cost, get new lifters...should be what, less than $50?
the lifters I have are *claimed* to be new, but I don't trust them. Therefore I am buying new ones ($90).
It was more of a curiosity question than anything. It seems there are so many horror stories of wiped lobes, I figured everyone has tried using old lifters at least once
I repeat....new lifters are on the way.... I am not trusting lifters that I suspect are used....
