I read in an older post while researching that "when a lifter is replaced, cam must be replaced also". This makes sense but the inverse would also be true that if you replace a cam, all lifters must be changed. This would tell me that you can't replace a single lifter w/o replacing the cam. If you replace the cam for a single lifter, then all lifters must be replaced.

Is this gospel or just a best practice? Do I have to pull engine, replace cam and all lifters if one lifter has gone bad?????

Thanks,

I've always been told that when you replace the cam you have to replace the lifters, but you can replace all the lifters without replacing the cam.

 

Thanks, WB, think I'll go with that and just replace the offenders.
