[TR] lifters

[Bob Rochlin]

As it happens, I just installed a new cam from Goodparts (Richard Good).
Richard strongly recommended that I use his flat ground tappets to assure the
cam lobes did not get ground down. I believe he feels that the flat grind
assures full contact between the tappets and the cam lobes and thus avoids
premature lobe wear.Take care.Bob Rochlin72' TR6

soft, I had my old ones ground at $4.00 each.  I think he ground the surface
flat.
> Talking with Oregon Cams in Washington, where I sent my cam for a stock
grind, he mentioned he does lifters too and even puts the little ball on the
surface...meaning I guess the surface that mates with the came is not supposed
to be just flat.
