stock lifters? not enough?

[D347643]

i am running stock lifters, (reman) with twisted wedge heads and they are clacking, is there any reaosn to upgrade to aftermarket lifters? i have heard that stockers are pretty tough and some clacking is normal. i have adjusted them too. worth the money for "aftermarket" lifters?

thanks

Worth the money if you do them with a cam at the same time. It's a good idea to do them together...

No, you have no need for aftermarket lifters.

TWs tend to be a little noisier than other stud mount heads. If you want less noise, run more preload. I run 1/4 turn because I care more about the little extra power, but 1/2-3/4 turn will be quieter.
