Call me at the shop Saturday, and stop over and grab a couple of my Crower lifters....try them. Since you already have swapped some lifters, not sure its going to help, but try another manufacter first.Since its the same bores that its doing it on, I am suspect there, but try these first to save the next step.Bring your two bad lifters, I want to look/measure them.

Yea lifter face seems okay. Spin freely in the bores too. I haven't measure them though. Is that okay to keep mixing them around until I get them all to spin?

I believe the tag on the Mopar box said the Cam and Lifters are from 2003....... Pretty sure I bought it in 2004 I'd be tickled pink if I just got some bad lifters. Beats having a bad lifter bore I would think ! Michael

Thanx Fred I'm pretty sure I saw that on here a few years ago. I can remember stuff like that but I can't find my car keys. IMHO this why 90+% of flat tappet cams fail. Lifters no spin for what ever reason. Kevin

I think if you placed the lifters face to face you would not be able to see the crown. good lifters always have the edges show light. the NASCAR guys have a mahcine that puts the crown back and polishes the lifter face

first try very worn old used lifter,any type. if still binds its ovaled/worn/funky lifter bore,hate to say it but, ive honed lifter bores in car complete runing motor intake off with drill motor and wheel cylinder hone. after pull pan plug 1 can brake clean, then flushed with 5 quarts new oil, they will spin like a champ then

Sometimes it is too fine of a finish on the lifter base. Take some 500 grit sand paper, put it in the palm of your hand and push the base of the offending lifter into it, rotating the lifter to take the shine off. Clean, reinstall and check again. Works great, I,ve had no failures doing this.
