Hey guys,
I bought a '00 with a cracked head, and am planning on ordering a new head from Clearwater in the next few days.
My plan was to reuse the lifters, as it's the general consensus to not replace them if you're not touching the Cam. This is at least what I've gathered from searching. However...nearly all the references I've seen made to this rule of thumb were from threads where people were replacing their lifters and didn't have much of an issue. So I guess my question is...what's the lesser of two evils if I want NOTHING to do with touching the bottom end?
Engine has about 160k, lifter tick is minor, if present at all; about normal from my somewhat limited experience.
