I just finished the rebuild of my BN2 engine. I used Denis Welch lifters.
They have the channel machined on the side of the lifter for better oil
flow back to the pan. I would think these lifters would be hardened
correctly. Oh, boy, something else to worry about when I get this engine
up and running.
