Re: Lifter Hardness Confusion

[Larry Young <cartravel@pobox.com>]

Greg Solow's post in January said he typically gets 52 to 55 for OEM
lifters.  I just had a set tested that ranged from 48 to 53 (note: these
were measured on the 15-N scale and I'm converting to Rc).

I have it straight from Steve Long, who's taken over for Erson, that his
reground cams are not rehardened.  He said there is some residual hardness
of about 35 Rc.  So what hardness lifter is needed?  I'm one confused Okie.
