    Alright, I am pulling apart my AEB head tonight. Got one question, can I re-use my lifters or should they be replaced? Putting valves/springs/retainers in and am questionable on the lifters. Head will be gone for 2 weeks or so so it is nothing I need tonight so i figured while I have sometime to think..Or should i wait till I throw my cams in about 6 months when all is said and done?

    As long as you are using the same cams and the current lifters are not damaged then you should be fine... just give them time to settle before you start the car.

    What THEY said.

    + when you install a performance cam you should replace the lifters.

    EDIT: dammit jake you beat me this time.
