Is it really neccesery to change the valve tappets? mine seem to be in very good shape ,they still have very clearly a circular pattern steming from the very middle of the tappet to the edge like the rings on a tree.

So should I chuck these or keep them.

and how about valve spring retainers and keepers do these stay or get replaced.

Jose if the plating on the tappets is intact ,no chips erosion etc.I,d keep them.The keepers and retainers can also be retained.
