No need to change them with the cam and they are rollers as well. They run
under the camshaft (not on top like OHV systems). You don't have to change
the lifters either.

Dumb mechanic question about over head cams, understand pushrods and lifters
and when you need to replace them (flat tappet) or can reuse (roller). Have
never actually played with OHC cam engine.

I am assuming the rocker rides on the cam in such an animal?

If the above assumption is correct, can the rockers come with rollers on
both sides?

Do they need to be changed with the cam?
