[FC] Valve Lifters

[James Davis]

Most any good machine shop can re-radius lifters. It takes a centerless 
grinder.  Ray Sedman has the capability if he can find the time.  I use the 
Sources lifters in three engines with no problems.  Previously I used 
Crane's small block Chevy lifters with no problems.  I still use them on 
hipro engines where I need variable duration lifters (Rampside).  I also 
like the Sources pushrods both HD and standard.  The are as good as the 
Otto's but no better as I can see.
