how hard is it to change the lifters? lol I know im gonna have to take off the heads...

 

You mean intake. You can change the lifters pretty easy after the intake is removed and you loosen the rocker arms. If the oil has been changed on a regular basis and they are not all varnished up, you can pull them out with your fingers. If they are varnished up, you may have to get a lifter removal tool from your local parts store.

 

ah yes intake. lol i have removed that bad boy a few times. I think i have a bad one or 2. ive got a some noise clanking on my driver side valve cover. its in between a click and a clank sound. im gonna try and adjust my rockers again but its really hard to tell what is what bc my motor is so loud. When i first start up my car you can really hear it bad then it just kinda piddles down. maybe bc the oil gets to it. i dunno...

Can i change my car to a solid roller? if so what do I have to get to do so?

 

Do i need to readjust the valves being that it is a new motor?

 

I don't know. I just started working on the LT1 engine. I replaced my head gaskets and adjusted mine according to instructions on shbox.com link and I fired it up once to see if it would start. I didn't have the manifolds on and it was loud so I didn't hear mine making noise either! LOL. I think craby stated in a post that he had to readjust his after running a couple weeks after doing some work on his engine. Maybe someone else with more V8 experience will chime in.

I guess it would also depend on if you have stock or some type aftermarket lifters and rockers. I have stock.
