New Lifters on cam. How risky?

[Falcon67]

Tough luck, but not the cat's fault. It was just being a cat.

Concrete proof that the earth is not flat - if it was, cats would have knocked everything off the planet by now.

Randy: Babe Erson did my first FE Custom Grind. Steve took over the business and moved to Corona. The cam actually still has the phosphate on the lobes, even with 390 miles. Had tons of oil pressure and the block was worked nicely. 35-40 at idle hot and about 70 at 3400 RPM hot.
The pump is a melling HV unit. I was rather surprised at the oil pressure.  I run straight 30 weight Penn Grade Break-In Oil with a second container of ZDDP additive. I dumped the oil after the first couple hours of running. 
They still have a slight crown to them so I am praying with all the precautions It will seat again with no issue. I had to get a new 428 block, and I know even that factors in. I just don't another expensive tear down. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Steve knows his business and is really up to speed.

  Keith,
      I worked with Babe when I was at Sig's in the '70s. Babe was always more "down to earth"  than Sig , so when I left Sig's ( at the point he sold it to Super Shops) , I worked with Babe on all the cam ideas I had. Steve began working there and evidently knew me by reputation and we quickly formed a friendship that is still going today. When the loss of zinc caused "the majors" to have failures , Steve and I talked about increasing the lobe taper to overcome the "issue". Done deal no flat lobes. That is why I can say to you it's no big deal to move the lifters around.
