In my opinion you're probably safe - we've all been doing what you're 
going to do for years, without any provable problems. BUT it probably 
isn't the best practice.  Lon

(I haven't pulled the pushrods to check them yet, either.) The new lifters came with a note warning me not to use the new lifters on a used camshaft because rapid wear may occur. Now, I've heard never to put a used lifter on any other cam lobe, but I always thought you could use new lifters on any camshaft, new or used. True? I'm sure not going to replace the camshaft on a good running car because a clicking lifter! Thanks for any input.
