JB weld, flex seal or full rebuild ?

The Herbert stuff looks really good on paper but they scare me. I went through THREE hydraulic flat tappets from them a few years ago and not one of them measured to the specs on the cam card. Not even close. Each one they took back, inspected and agreed with me. The third return, I asked for a refund. It was not a small difference, either.
To my knowledge there is 1 guy that grinds for a few different companies/brands and he always grinds them a little off, be it cause the specs were **** and wouldn't last or who knows. Engle does their own, but I think bullet uses him , the one guy, too.
I knew his name once upon a time...
I have gotten cams suspect on the phone and when the cam showed up the card was not exactly what was spoken about on the phone. Sometimes what we want and what's actually going to work are 2 completely different things.
