You can reuse roller lifters.
If you were talking to him about a flat-tappet cam, you can't use your roller lifters on that type of cam.

Re: Lifters Question
Roller lifters CAN be reused if they seem to be in good shape (no gouges on the wheel or lifter machined surfaces, wheel spins smoothly and is not loose, etc)
Flat tappet lifters should NEVER be reused when changing the camshaft.
