I assume you mean to cut the overall profile with a lower base circle. Same lift duration, etc. Is it expensive to have a cam recut?
Will the ramp profiles work the same?
They can cut your cam as is on a smaller base... it just drops the lifter lower... how much d you need to drop.... its about $125... I just called on this last week

Thanks Mr. P. I'll check into it.
Do you happen to know if there were problems with the removable lifter bars vs the captive tie bars? I'll call on this as well, but looking for your advice.
Thanks.
Between the 2 styles of bars I didnt see them at a different height.... but I'm not talking BB on this so I cant say for fact on the BB ones... but I doubt they are at different heights

I was thinking that I could install both lifters without the tie bar and then lift one up high enough to put them both into the slots. Once down on the cam they are OK. No?
I agree they might both be the same height.
By the way, do you think I am concerned about nothing? Will I lose oil up top if the oil hole is exposed? The oil band is also exposed which would seem to cause pumping of the oil out of the band. This is why I thought I needed to bush the lifters.
I have never seen a lifter where you could put the bar on if its not about 90* and yes if the oil band is exposed you will most likely have a oil pressure drop... if the lifter bore is sloppy it will make it all the worse

Tell me more about why I should not worry about losing pressure momentarily, actually draining the pushrod? I don't know. Why does the factory keep these holes covered at high lift?
The contact points will be well lubed and continue to be right up till the moment the hole becomes exposed. The contact points will then ride the cushion of oil. In the absolute fraction of a second that the holes are exposed drainback would be virtually unmeasureable.
