Not totaly sure on how much my heads are milled down so not sure if i need to change my pushrods and should i change my lifters ?? wanting this build to last atleast 80 k. i can upgrade the rockers later on when i get more money  | |

| If they aren't ticking, I wouldn't worry too much about the lifters. Pushrods and rockers are easier to replace than the lifters. Once the rockers are off, the rods come right out. I have a set of 80k miles OEM pushrods if you think you need to replace yours. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

| Aren't they roller lifters? They last forever. | |

| well i think they would need to be shorter pushrods to make up for the shorter height in the head. i have an adjustable pushrod from when i did my trans am heads ( milled 3 times, 1.9 RRs cam ) i know on different after market cams they change the base lobe of the cam to get more lift, but the stock lifters will adjust a certain amount also before colappsing. the heads have to be on the car so i can use the adjustable pushrod thought.. i see the roller lifters going bad around 200k on a few 5.3s 120 k on my t/a | |

| 245k miles on my OE lifters w/ LS6 springs, 1.9:1 rockers, and OR pushrods since 80k. Lots of revs to 5800-6000 during that time! _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30
