If you change the cam, you will need to measure for new pushrods and calculate preload. Comp has a tool to measure this.

This should help give a basic understanding even though it's for the LSA engine |
oh ok, I understand. I was switching them out because I had ticking going on, and even after cam and lifter replacement (they were both very worn down with pits and flatspots on some lobes and lifters), I still had the noise. So I inspected my pushrods on about two were a little bent, and some rocker arms had uneven wearing, so I decided to replace them.
