so far got a newly rebuit S/C 3.4 pulley milled heads with oversized valvles getting new valve seals, ls6 springs, titanium retainers, gasket set. 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 smile

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.

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!
