Thanks for all the reply's. Plan on putting a new set of lifters in it and give it a go. Might buy a new set of heads for it this summer and if I do I will go with an adjustable roller rocker setup.



How many miles do you have on this motor since this all happened?

It's kind of surprising you don't have a flat/ damaged cam lobe already from running those used lifters, and you'll be taking another chance when installing that new set.

A lot of people on this board aren't so lucky even with all new parts.

I hope this all works out for you and you've Dodged a bullet.

Over ther years Ihave seen people that put the lifters in a box and reused them when reassembling. Making sure that the lifters and cam are clean and well lubricated and they end result was no problem. Granted it isn't a good idea but if you have run it for even a relatively short time with no problem I would not worry about it and run it. Save your money for later up grades. The damage would have been virtually immediate.
