Default Re: 8BA Lifters?

Original lifters can also be resurface/reground/crowned again - if they are not too worn. There is nothing wrong with original lifters if you have a rebuilder who knows how to do the valve work as Henry originally did (adjusting valve lengths to set the valve lash). With that said, many rebuilders just replace them with 'adjustables' - as it is the easy route to go and if you have a good supplier, then they can work just fine. You can also resurface original Johnsons - just like you can resurface original lifters.
