Which might explain why many have a slight dome to them. A domed lifter
combined with a tapered cam would tend to compensate for any error in the angle
of the lifter bore. I've heard that "cam walk" is a common problem when
converting to roller lifters, so clearly production tolerances aren't
particularly tight in this area.

I dunno ... just know that Babe Erson, Crane Cams and someone at Isky have all
told me that non-roller lifters should be domed.
