Ok. Checked the lifters- a few are slightly dished. I just ordered all new lifters- I'll just have to be careful to break them in and keep fingers crossed I don't screw up the cam in the process. Cam looked good, no galling or scratches. Taking the head in tomorrow so I've got time before the whole thing gets reassembled.

Looks like the lifters I'm getting have a hole in the body. Mine are solid. I don't believe that will be an issue. Thanks for all the input!
