Is it ok to reuse old cam followers.  I am rebuilding my engine and
replacing the stock cam with a mild street cam.  I am obtaining a used set
of followers (lifters) from a friend.  He said that if you polish them with
glass you can reuse them like this, same with push rods.  What is the
consensus of the list.  While I would love to buy hardened lifters and alloy
pushrods along with double valve springs, I am running out of money
FAST!!!!!!!  And I am in a hurry, car has to be done before 1 May to prepare
for the move to Ohio.  BTY I have a '79 Spit with a 1500 engine running high
compression pistons.

Thanks Patrick
