So- i am calling a time out on this thread before someone or a lot gets burned here. I have no connection to the referenced lifter maker or any other lifter or cam mfg. But the lifter photo i posted was sent to me ,(my co) by one of the most well known and fast engine builders in the country to see if i could fix the surface,with one of our coatings. (I could not). You can literally drag a fingernail across the surface and feel the roughness of the surface.So itried etching and then polishing one to see if i could get anything near acceptable for applying .No .Then took some pics with our microscope to get more info. They are over at another lab as we talk getting hardness tested. I have no dog in the hunt here,just trying to help my friends, you guys!!! So u might want to be prudent and wait for more info before u go ordering stuff.
Maybe its just a bad batch or ?? But this builder or others i spoke with are not putting those on any engine. I did not expect this subject to come upwhen i posted this but, maybe its good that it did. You can see a little bit about my experience and what i do at forcealtered.com But this is in no way a promotion for me our what i do. I am just in the startup/re-startup phase and Ken M. is aware of me and what i do.
