Default Cam Change, Lifters?

Doing a cam change to TW222 from fuelmoto and was wondering. Do you guys definetly change lifters or is it a judgement call after opening up.

Yes, at 20K I would change them out with Gatermans....better oilers than Woods and a lot cheaper.

I installed my TW222 at 18,000 miles, inspected the lifters and continued using them. If it was one of the later models that had known lifter issues, I might replace them.

Small block Chevy 350 will work, that is what I put in mine during CAM change, go to auto zone or any car parts store, they are around $5 each. Found out about them from this hd forums. Also just in case someone has a rear brake switch go bad, again, go to an auto parts store and get it, Harley wants $30 and they are half that at a auto parts store, same part.

You will never be any closer to changing them as you would be then. I would change them if it were my decision.
