LS1 Lifters
 
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

yea rons lifter were accually in really good shape...i do find his spring to be of major concern

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.
