Not trying to steal his thread, but yes he got new lifters to go with the new cam. At least that's what he told me.

hmmm... my cam gear broke and almost all the valves hit the pistons and the stock rods were still straight.... Guess I just got lucky.

i bent the stock pushrod because it wasnt in the lifter completly in novermber when i replaced my head, when the owner of a diesel performance shop tells me that a hd pushrod is just as easy to bend as a stock pushrod im convinced it aint worth a dime
