I have the smallest ATR crane billet roller in my car. About 4 years and 25k or so hard miles.
I had the pan off to put on my new RJC pan (very nice) and inspected the rollers on the lifters from below.
I saw a stripe of wear on a few of the lifter rollers. Still looked smooth, just not shiny and new like the others. The cam looked fine from that vantage point.
I buttoned up the motor and it has been running great, but this is still in the back of my mind.
A year or so ago I popped a head gasket (my fault) and found a broken dampner in one of the valve springs. I went to my local guru (Gromms) and bought new springs. He thought the springs were a little light and sold me a new set. I do not remember the exact numbers.
Has anyone seen this on the roller of the lifter? Should I feed it a new set of lifters? Or should I continue to drive it like I stole it?
Summit show the lifters pn 853-12 for $366, but they are from Comp Cams.....?....
Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions.
