If you know the load with the valve closed, and the net max lift at the valve, you can calculate the theoretical open load.

Example, 220 closed and .685 lift.
545 x
.685 = 373.3, add in the 220 = 593.3 open load.


I talked to Chris Mayes @ the PRI. He told me they are going to continue the rebuild program for .904 dia. lifters. You might want to look into that.
