couple of questions

1. how do you tell if the lifters and rods should be replaced?

2. since I'm doing valve seals should I cut the valves?

3. can I reuse the valve cover bolts?

4. what else should I know about?

New hydraulic lifters require a special way of starting up and mantaining high rpm for x mins
