In a 1600,
        Is it kosher to resurface the lifters?  Is there enough hardness to
'em?  Years back (7) I had mine done, and the cam reground.  So far it
seems to be holding up alright, but I havn't measured the lift recently,
either...  I HAVE been wrasslin' with noisy rockers (well, OK, checking
the adjustment every 500 miles, to discover that they're adjusted
correctly) in the vain hope that they'll SHUT UP!  One of these days,
I'll get a new rocker shaft assembly...
