Ok this might be kind of a dumb question, but is there anything you should replace in the roller lifters when reusing them or can you just clean them out and put them back together. I took one apart and let it soak in chem-dip for a while and it cleaned up well, even a lot of the crud on the inside (scraped it out with a pick).
Haven't made much progress lately, been busy with school. Just cleaning parts mostly. I did install the cam bearings last weekend. The first two bearings were a bit nerve-racking but everything went ok. I have to drop the old rods and pistons off at the machine shop to get the new pistons pressed on, then I should be able to button the short block up.
