Comp cam lifter problems.......what lifters?

Custom grinds are the only way to go unless you have absolutely no budget (like me... but I try not to scrimp on important stuff)...

I would love to run a solid rolller in my new dirt car project but I would have to buy new pushrods, lifters, springs...just not in the budget. My custom Jones cam will be $243.00... I'm resurfacing 15 used lifter at $6.00 each and bought one new one for $8.99. Crower and Howard's custom grinds are a little cheaper. Make sure you get a quality core... should not be a problem with any of the aforementioned outfits.

That's pretty interesting.... I am not afraid to use reground /6 lifters in a stock setup but I never thought of reground used ones in a moderate performance V8. I might need to start saving the old hydraulics. Where are you getting them reground?

I see you are going for a circle track engine, and a solid that will work for that (new or reground) ought to be easy to find. But when I look for a solid with under 275 advertised duration and over .460 lift or so, it just does not seem to be listed anywhere.
