Running surface - Lifter / Cam

Now I put in new lifters just for peace of mind and the cam and lifters looked perfectly fine. Now I'm running the 224/224 and expect to see the same thing, no damage.

Did you have a cam with same type of damage? If so I would like to ask you some questions on the phone.

Roller lifters don't have to be changed with every cam change. The lifter needs to be inspected and if suspect to wear then new lifters should be installed.
