I like the idea too as long as the cost doesn't outweigh peace of mind too much. New push rods w/could be in order afterward$ ...that's another 200 bucks.
Depending on how much the lifters cost to reface or looking at near or around 300 bucks in total...or 65-180 in new lifters and the time to inspect them closely...and or exchange a couple. Lol
I rolled the dice on my magnum recently and bought a new set of off brand rollers..$60 for 16. Lol 12 showed up. Messaged them and got the other 4 over night mail. They're in there running now, been driving and so far so good.
someone's gotta find out. Could be the ticket for others. Quality control is pretty much the issue with any of the lower dollar stuff. I did have two lifters 'because yes I do test all those things on my finger and on a table first with pressure as part of my semi crude inspection' but two lifters..that felt like they had a piece of grit in them. I blew them out with some mass air flow cleaner I had sitting near by and then soaked them in oil ..wiped them off and rolled them. They rolled perfect after that. In they went. Knowing what you have in front of you helps.
