Re: How Do I Know?
Bad idea to use old lifters with a new shortblock. The lifters/pushrods are all "wear in" parts, and need to be matched together upon reassembly, or it may cause premature wear to "other" new parts. I'm assuming the shortblock is a complete rotating assembly?? If so, that new cam may have issues with the old lifters, due to previous wear pattern, ect....
