Change lifters or don't
My 2012 RK has 12000 miles on it and I am fixing to put 57H cams in her. I would settle for a set of se204 but cannot find a used set. Should I change out the lifters or keep the stock ones. Also I read where comp cams 850 lifters will work in the twin cam motors just fine?

I'm in the same boat with my 2004 RK tc88. I'm doing the tensioner upgrade with cams and adjustable rods. The engine has 29k miles on it. My service writer says the stockers are fine and I don't need new tappets.

I would go ahead and change them out while you have it all apart. I didn't and had to go back and change them later. Woods, gaterman, s&s, and other good choices are all better than hd stock lifters. Imho.

Its really a personal choice on lifters
I would go S&S. But it will be more than 200
On the other hand. If you dont change an engine repair or replacement is more than 200 as well
Dont skimp on lifters.
