Where your followers noisey?

I assume then if they were not noisy they don't need servicing?

Yep
I would at least squeeze the oil out first.

If the valves have been reseated then the followers need to be compressed otherwise they will remember the previous learned valve clearances (which won't match the reseated valves) and might result in no compression.


They will be fine......on these hardened seats, you cant take owt off them and within a few turns of the cam, they will have leake down enough  :y
