So, I used a straight edge and feeler guages to see how bad the dip is on my lifters. Only did six random ones. One measured .002", three measured .003" and two measured .006". IF they are all in this range are they candidates for regrinding?

Also, klhanen referred to the lifters I have as "Soda bottle" lifters. I've seen NONE of what I have for sale anywhere, just the "milk can" type. Are "Soda bottle" and "milk can" lifters the same dimensionally? Should I need to go the "Milk can" route just want to know if pushrod length will be an issue. Thanks!
