Replacing cam followers

[StardustV8]

Is their a life expectancy for cam followers (lifters) on the RV8?

As far as i know im still running the OE hydraulic ones, if they are sticking it may be a factor in my alleged poor performance as im not getting full lift?

Saw some on fleabay..........so just a thought

Normally if the followers have worn and are original it would be time to change the cam and associated parts too.

Its far more likely that the cam lobe is worn, the RV8 has poor cam lube which is exacerbated on TVR's due to the more aggressive cam fitted and erm more enthusiastic use.
