[AJD] 530 Rebuild

[John D. Swecker]

Ken, I agree with Lou. The camshaft and lifters is the most highly 
loaded area of the motor. When reassembling a new motor, they must be 
installed in the same location if worn, or reground professionly.

A failure would be catistropic, sending particles worn from both thru 
the oiling system, probably taking out the crankshaft bearings, etc. I 
use S.T.P. on the new cam and followers when installing them. Not too 
much S.T.P. though, It can prevent the rings from seating properly.

Can these followers be refaced?  Can it be done with emery paper or best left to a machinist?   Your advise would be appreciated
