Wondering if anyone has any input on where to acquire new valve lifters for my 28 truck engine? I'm not necessarily saying I know I need them but I wanted to finally get my engine rebuild done here over this winter and was going to have the cam reground. Egge advised to put new lifters in on a reground cam but has no source for them. The filling station gets all those parts from Egge so they can't help. I did not reach out to Gary Wallace. Just thought I would put the question out there. I didn't look through the Schools in Session to see what was used there. I know Dean didn't use new lifters in his resurrecting a 4-banger rebuild.
Thanks,
David
I did talk to Gary Wallace and he offers a regrind exchange on lifter sets for 160.00 Said they have been doing it for years successfully. Not sure what other option I'd have.
@david-siedschlag David, There is a Machine shop in Effingham IL that regrinds cams. I would guess that they offer tappet resurfacing as well.

Wouldn't have the contact info would you?
Personal opinion based on observation of others' mishaps. New cams and lifters are hit & miss at best with many being junk out of the box. The lifters you have, have proven themselves durable over the years so, if a regrind service is available, I would use it if it was my decision to make.
