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.

I may not know everything but I am almost ase certified master tech so I have a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about and I'm just going off of what they teach us in school. in my notes I just wrote down replace cams replace lifters. but thinking about it it makes more sense for flat tappet lifters. I'll double check with my teacher and see what he says but I definitely know how to diagnose engine noise and it is in the cylinder head. at least I'll be rather suprised if it isn't
