RE: Pushrods and lifters
New cam = new lifters. Same concept as replacing the chain and sprocket at the same time on a motorcycle. Things wear together, and when you put them with different stuff bad things happen. Besides, why not give yourself the peace of mind while everything's apart. It would suck to have to take it all apart again a month later because an old lifter collapsed or something.

RE: Pushrods and lifters
Definatly a good idea to get new pushrods and lifters. Would you want to tear all the way back down AGAIN just incase an old pasrt goes bad ? Just for security reasons, i would definatly get new ones.

I'm putting new lifters in with my new cam too but it says right on the Crane site that you can reuse your old lifters if they are in good condition. Roller lifters barely wear at all, its not like flat tappet cams where you have to change them every time.
