does anyone know how long the stock LS1 lifters usually last before you should replace them?

It is my understanding that hydraulic roller lifters last a long time. Solid roller lifters and regular flat tappet lifters are the ones that require replacement from time to time.

ah ok thanks cuz i was wondering if i should keep mine in or replace'em. i've had them soaking in oil since te motor blew up so that should keep'em alive

[su_maverick]

why not get a set of replacements for $100?

What blew on your motor? If you got metal in the oil I would definately get new ones. If not, they should last a good long time. IMO if you are taking it all apart anyway you might as well put new ones in, they are cheap enough.
