Did you change the lifters? What about the cam bearings?

Yes, but havn't started it yet, still putting it back together !
Bearings look good, and no metal bits anywhere, very clean cam chest, and I believe the lifters were the originals !

If the lifters have 100,000 miles, I would try to buy the same ones again :D. People on this site change them every 20,000-30,000 miles
