Either way you go with the cam, have your lifters resurfaced. Most lifters are
convex when new and wear along with the cam. A quick and dirty way you can
check for wear is by placing the two bottoms together and making sure they
"rock". If they fit flush ( don't rock ) or show any pits they should be
resurfaced. Most machine shops can resurface lifters. Discuss if they should
be convex or flat with your cam grinder and recheck your resurfaced lifters.
