roller lifters are like $88 each, crow cams make good lifters for about $40 a piece, you can get them off ebay...
get a VRS kit from monotorque or equivalent brand, that gives you head gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, valve stem seals, rocker cover gaskets
repco and most parts shops sell VRS kits and can give you a price straight away

I will keep an eye on this thread as i will need to replace the lifters soon as mine starting to tick randomly. and will be looking at replacing the same things

check your oil pressure too.... 98-04 year gen3's tend to have low oil pressure at idle after about 80,000 k's and the oil pressure switch doesnt pick it up, replaced a few pumps at work now too... worth doing while your sumps off

From what i have read you can do it without taking the sump off. I dont really want to pull the engine out
