Cool man, Me and Dorian are doing everything again so we'll be going through you for everything.

Do you see any problem with doing a cam, lifters, springs and push rods to a high mileage engine? I feel like I rarely see any lower end or piston issues with 6.0s around 600hp. Even if it did spin a rod bearing or something it's not like I couldn't re use the cam and all that stuff.

In my opinion if your gonna do it do it all. Cam, lifters, pushrods, rockers, and springs. At that point the whole valve train will be new and you shouldnt have anything to worry about. Thats just my thinking.
Most high mileage 6.0's that I see in our shop loose a lifter or have a rocker arm failure at that amount of miles, granted those are clapped out work trucks.

You may also wanna take into consideration PTV clearance. Jared at RCD advised me to do reliefs if i went with a cam since i had to have the heads milled to.

Its better safe than sorry.. first time you pull your fresh motor apart with bent valves because your machinist didnt properly recess the valves you'll be sorry you didnt.

.060 is safe enough. no worries, be happy!

.060 valve reliefs for a stage 1 cam? So we're giving up almost a full point of compression just in case the machinist doesn't know how to do their job correctly?
