Not necessary to replace the tappets unless they have pitting on the camshaft face.

Are your existing lifters making noise? If they are not making noise there is no need for a preventative measure. In my experience they only fail if they force open a stuck valve or if run for long periods with poor and dirty oil.

Here is a video I did on checking lifters that might be helpful:youtu.be/aWYycF-DpAA
