I'm going to be running a big duration (in the 260-270 range at .050"), low lift (.481) cam in my 347. Someone mentioned about chamfering the lifters. Was looking over my stuff this morning, and right on my lifters' box it says something to the affect that chamfering may be required, special machining process.

So who's dealt with this type of thing, and who offers this type of service? How would I determine the amount of chamfering I'd need?
