When to Replace or Reuse Lifters New lifters are ALWAYS required for flat tappet cams. Used flat tappet lifters will have a wear pattern on the face. This wear pattern will prevent the lifter from spinning appropriately. Even if the cam and lifters only run for a short time, they are considered used. here
Similarly, it is asked, do you need to replace lifters with Cam? here
What causes a lifter to stick? here
Furthermore, can you replace lifters without replacing Cam? The camshaft does not necessarily need to be replaced when replacing lifters, and often times is not. In the case of a 4 cylinder, especially, I would replace lifters without doing the camshaft since you can replace the lifters without removing the head.
A lifter tick is caused when the push rod or camshaft doesn't make continuous contact with the lifters. This can be because the lifter has become worn out, as is the case usually with hydraulic lifters, or the valve has come out of adjustment.
Intake valves open and close to let the air-fuel mixture (or just air in some modern engines) enter the cylinders, and the exhaust valves allow exhaust gases to escape. Too much or too little valve clearance can result in poor performance or a rough idle because the engine can’t “breathe” normally and operate at peak efficiency. Too much clearance means the valves will likely clatter and, over the long term, cause damage to the valves, camshaft lobes or rocker arms. If there’s too little valve clearance, the valves won’t fully close, causing excessive heat, and the engine will lose power. here
Valves look like spring-tensioned inverted golf tees that are opened by lobes on rotating camshafts, either directly in overhead-cam engines or by means of pushrods acting on rocker arms in overhead-valve (pushrod) engines. With extended time and use, the clearances between the lobes or rocker arms and the valve stems they act on can become greater. That often leads to a clattering noise or more engine vibration that a driver might not notice for quite a while, because it increases gradually, but which will be necessary to adjust in order to correct. With exhaust valves, the clearance can become tighter over time as the valves or valve seats wear down, diminishing the clearance, known as the lash, between the valves and the valve train components. here
If your engine generates a loud clatter, it could be time for a valve clearance adjustment, though a tapping noise could also be caused by a loose rocker arm or some other component; the mechanic won’t know for sure without inspecting the valves. On some engines, the valves don’t generate noise when there’s too much clearance, but valve issues may manifest in other ways. Loss of power could be a sign of a weak or broken valve spring, for example. here
Does your engine need a valve adjustment? It depends on the age, condition and brand of vehicle you’re driving. Due to the popularization of roller-follower valve train designs that reduce friction and hydraulic tappets (valve lifters) that help maintain optimal valve clearance, valve adjustment isn’t necessary as frequently, if at all, in modern vehicles as in older ones.
Where relevant, valve clearance specifications and valve adjustment procedures vary widely among manufacturers. The maintenance schedules for some recent Hyundai engines, for example, call for a valve clearance inspection at 60,000 miles; some Hondas call for an inspection at 110,000 miles; some manufacturers advise valves should be inspected only if there is excessive valve noise; others don’t mention valve clearance in their maintenance schedules at all. Your vehicle’s maintenance schedule should be detailed in the owner’s manual, so check there first if you’re not sure.
