Reusing lifters

Every time I see one of these threads, I say to myself " Oh My " how did I get away with using wheel bearing grease to break in cams back in the late seventies. lol
Some of the stuff we did back then I would still do if I really had to.
Money has changed that now though, not so much of right or wrong, because I have my way of doing things.
and if it works don't break it.
This is one of those " OH MY " moments.:lol:
