No reason to replace when replacing cams.
I sent him instructions on how to bleed the lifters (evom how to). From the video he sent me it sounds like a bad lifter tick, But if bleeding the lifters or changing to revised lifters doesnt help i would definatly pull the oil pan and check the rod bearings.
The noise is definatly coming from the head, I dont think he has to worry about any lower end problems. I heard it in person the other day and its for sure in the head.
