I do not recommend this. I had my old lifters refaced and wham, the
cam failed along with the lifters. No telling which caused it, the cam
or lifters, but why take chances? I bought a set from Victoria British
(sorry to say, SS didn't have any) and they work just fine. They were
cheap, too. One of the few times I've been satisfied with VB parts.
