Hi Enrique,

  If the pushrods are not bent, etc, use them.  Replace the lifters. New
lifters have a convex bottom, that's why they rotate as they are
actuated. The rotation is intended to spread the wear over the entire
surface of the liftrer.  Lifters and their respective cam lobes take a
set as they wear-in together.  In fact, you should keep track of which
lobe of the cam the old lifters were on as you remove them.  Then, the
next time the cam/lifters are used they can be matched up.  If they
aren't matched up, the lifters may not rotate as they're supposed to.

  BTW, why are you going back to the stock cam?

  Cheers,

  CR
