RE: Lost Cam Lobes - Metal Chips in Engine

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know there are lifters made that are coated and are reuseable even in 
different engines and different bores. I'm talking non-roller. I know 
they are very pricey, about $600 a set but said to be a great thing for 
cam swaps, etc.. It's something like Schaller, Schuller, Schumacher, 
?????

Just an alternative thought.
