I suggest to check the lift on EACH and EVERY valve before tearing it apart.
You may have a wiped out camshaft lobe. If that is the case, you will need a
whole cam kit.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] QUESTION: about Lifters...
Hey guys I need your help. I am in the process of replacing my existing
lifters because there is a bad clicking noise, which doesn't go away. My
brother in law had re-tightened the rockers, but the clicking doesn't go
away. So he suggested that there might be a bad lifter and for me to buy
new lifters especially to buy the roller lifters. I bought my 1970 chevelle
350 about 4 years ago and I don't really know of what modifications were
done in the engine. For one thing I know there is a high performance cam,
with HEI ignition, headers dual exhaust, holly carb. My car is for street
use only, no track.
Do I need to match the lifters to my cam? If I don't need to, What type of
lifters should I buy? What brand is best to get? Also, I read in a forum
from a website that you can't install new lifters with a used cam because
you will do more damage, Is this true? If true, then do I need to buy a new
cam with new lifters altogether? thanks
-Eddie
