Going to pop the lifters in tommorow, the new lifters are soaking in oil, and wondering about the old ones. The few that i am re-using have been marked with a permanant marker, and wondering if i should have individual buckets for them to sit in or if the marker will be fine?Out of the 16, i am re-using 6, as some got mixed up, some have strange wear and 2 were slightly concave. If you didn't read my previous posts, the dial guage showed i still had lift similar to that of the other lobes (not positive as i didn't get to double check as the dial guage fell apart into the engine) So hopefully all goes well... Also if someone could point me in the direction of a good article on breaking in a cam/lifters that would be wonderful.

The marker is still on them at the moment, but they have only been in the oil for about an hour now...hopefully i can still make out what the marker says tommorow morning. If not i know which order they are in in the bucket, just as long as nobody moves it before i get to it

I don't think it will get the permanent marker off without some rubbing. Probably won't last past break-in in the engine...

Got everything installed and back together. I had to remove the intake again after i torqued it as the cork endseals had squished out at the back, so applied just rtv as before, so hopefully the insurance rtv around the water passages was still tacky enough to do it's job.
Put some of the comp break in lube that came with the rockers on the mating face of the lifters, but doubt it would still be there after turning it over to set the rockers.Also turned it over a couple times to measure cam lift, and with the lifers installed, the questionable lobe had .254" of lift compared to .257" of another, could be the difference in lifters, or the angle the gauge was mounted at. My book says that the 351's are supposed to have .260" so i think it's in good shape. So now i get to take it to a shop and have them pull the oil pan to make sure the mesh on the pickup is still in good condition, and i guess i'll get them to prime the oil system and break in the lifters.

Well it's been towed to the shop, and it should be all finished up in a few days They are also going to go over the car and see what else should be done before it's insured.
