I had my cam ground by someone that Michael recommended in the Toronto =
area, and they sent me to another place to have the lifters re-surfaced =
and hardened.
So, after this, I now have about the same number of miles on my engine =
(6000), so , while I=E2=80=99ve had no problems, I=E2=80=99m thinking I =
should take apart the valve gear and look at the lifters=E2=80=A6I=E2=80=99=
m wondering what led to your investigation of the lifters, Michael?
