Lifter is supposed to be flat, taper on the cam. That’s why the lifter turns. I think another problem is the cam load center has to be on the outside of lifter (cam to far in or out) to close to the center it’s harder to turn. Look at the cam in the hole, roller dead center, solid-hydraulic offset. imo
