Normally, you can reuse the Roller Lifters (Hydraulic Roller in our
case) up to 60K miles. If you change out the cam before then, go ahead
and reuse them. If it's past the 60K mile mark...consider replacing
them (just to be safe).

I believe magnum engines have roller lifters dont they? If so they
usually last a long time. Just check for evidence of any visable
scarring on the rollers or corresponding cam lobes and if all looks good
I would reuse them
