make sure you replace your valve springs, keepers and retainers as well.

Since your gonna be opening up the motor... you might as well replace the lifters too

only valve covers need to be removed,
my stocker had 280,000kms on it and the springs were wearing, I could compress it a little with pushing on it with my thumb.
