Hi Folks, I am in the process of replacing the cylinder base gaskets on my tonti lemans,waiting for the new gaskets to arrive, so I pulled out the lifters to take a look, finding both exhaust valve lifters to be slightly pitted in the center, an area about the diameter of a dime. They are available new for $35-$40. my question is, are they okay to re use like this, or should the be replaced? Can I take them to a local machinist to grind them smooth, or is this not advisable? I looked at the cam lobes, and they look real good. The bike has 30K miles on the clock.
Thanks,
Rick.
