RE: 361 head gaskets

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't believe it would be a good idea to put new lifters on an old 
cam. Might cause a lobe meltdown. Except for having a bent pushrod I 
don't believe lifters/p-rods are much of an issue as opposed to the 
timing chain/gears. They should have much more life than the chain.
