318 LA tear-down

yes new lifters on any other cam is a must. If you budgeted new pistons and a bore, go for it. all concerns gone about cylinder health. If your on a shoestring budget...I've take motors down that had large 1mm ridges on them and they ran decent before that. I've also put motors back with barely any ridge, new rings and bearings and they ran like a top. Its just money, you can always make more.
