**************************
If it properly set up you shouldnt need to, but if done correctly I see
nothing wrong with it.  Plus it adds a little piece of mind

>Spitfire cam bearings,yea or nay
*************************
I am assuming that you are referring to installing cam bearings in the
block - good idea, not absolutely necessary but better than riding in the
cast iron

>Any advice regarding severe pitting on camshaft and lifters?
*************************
REPLACE THEM - no short cuts here, if they are pitted they are gone - and
you can't just smooth the lifters bottoms.  They are ground with a very
slight crown in them which you wont be able to reproduce by simply lapping
them on a flat surface - Replace these items - with that much work
involved, not to mention expense, it isnt worth having to do it all over
again when, not if it fails
