I have a set of solid lifters that are worn flat and without any crown. I am either looking for a new set, or possibly to grind the rise on these. Does anyone have any experience with grinding these? I have a Sioux valve grinding machine, but I have not been familiar with an application like this. Is the convex shape .001"-.002"? I have not found any specs on the actual draft angle. Thanks in advance.

Have you checked the cam to see if it is flat? I see online that they sell flat lifters so possibly your lifters are reusable . An interesting subject and i hope someone with actual experience will reply.
