Re: Lifter re-ginding or turning
A .0021" difference in heights yields around a 60"R. It appears from the lifters I have seen the face is ground with some sort of orbital wheel while it is being swung on the radius, all while the lifter is rotating. I think a 60" radius would be a good place to start with this experiment.
I have read where it is recommended to polish the new lifter face with 600 grit paper to aid in break in.
The only unknown is the turned finish I will get with the carbide tooling and if polishing can give a finish comparable to the stock lifter.
