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?
