97 tahoe lifters

[amorr24]

I have a 1997 Tahoe 5.7 160000 on the clock. Im replacing the lifters and intake gasket and wanted to know if switching to an edelbrock Performer-Plus cam and lifters is gonna mess anything up with the engine being as old as it is.

Also what would constitute a "Valve Job" for the engine heads?

Should not be an issue. And do you mean what is inolved or what determines you need one?

I was thinking what work would go into doing a valve job but it would be great to know when you would need it.

basically it is valves, seats, guides, springs, retainers or keepers. cleaning, resurfacing or replacing such components if the don't meet specs.
