At least I did. It seems likely that unless you have the machinery and knowledge that having it done and heat treated would cost as much or more than new ones. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,798 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,798 | The Sioux valve grinder I used to have had an accessory attachment for regrinding lifters, but I don't think I ever used it. If a lifter is worn flat, or definitely if it's concave, it's worn out. Replace it! Lifters are supposed to have a slightly convex shape, higher in the middle than at the edges, so they will spin as the cam rolls underneath. A worn lifter indicates the cam also has too much wear to reuse.
