not so it does happen cm can get burned off ( the real reason is the lifter is not turning ) but i have i customer with a rece chevy and the solids in it have been in 3 motors i know but its true -- cant tell am old timer the way they are -- in my shop we will re use a flat tappet cam over - we just use a new set of lifters -- but we always re hone the bores -- ( reason lifters dont turn in the first place ) just the way we do it my shop -- jz |
