Bill, check out this web site, he provides cams and he can recondition your
present set of lifters. Good alternative in my opinion.
He seems to know the needed technology of matching the correct hardness with
cams etc. I'm sure he would also he able to answer any questions that you may
have about cams too. His prices seem very reasonable as well. NFI and have
never used him but will when the time comes.

Subject: TR3 Cams & Lifters
In preps for a TR3 engine teardown, I am full of questions.
There was a flurry of postings about the low quality of lifters being
offered by the big 3. I recently observed a teardown on a TR6 engine
with "chilled iron" lifters from BFE. The lifters didn't have that many
miles
on it and they were shot, pitted and tearing up the cam. What are the
lifters
of choice out there? BPNW maybe?
Also, a friend recently procured a new Kent cam with a matching set of
lifters from Minimania for his MG Midget. I have been checking around, but
no
Kent cams for TR3's. Does anyone carry new Kent cams and matching lifter
sets
in the US? The new Midget set was lovely and not that expensive.
