I'm putting together a used motor and am darn close to out of money. The cam 'looks' OK, but the lifters are slightly dished. Do I:
1. Put new lifters in it? 2. Regrind the old lifters (I have and extra set that are shot too... so I could pick and choose the best for the regrind) 3. Run 'em and try to forget about it (gonna be really, really hard to do) Opinions? -Aaron |

The cam looks good to me... I'll have to get a picture. I think at this point I should probably try and source another cam and lifters... I'm going down that slippery slope now. I'll call John Edwards and see what it's gonna take for machining and cleaning.
-clean case and tap galley plugs -check crank -rebuild rods -clean and check p/c -new rings -new main and rod bearings -new cam and lifters Wow... This just got really expensive. |
