{{Note1}}The lifter is the most precisely machined part in the engine. The piston OD is matched to the lifter body ID, the close tolerances are required to give the correct amount of bleed down. For that reason, swapping out the piston from one lifter to another will not always work, so plan on having to go through more than one lifter to find a good match to the old piston OD. The MAIN thing is that the piston not be too tight. Slightly loose will still perform OK, although there's a chance there could be some slight tapping at idle. But if the lifter and cam cannot for whatever reason be replaced as a set, this is STILL preferrable to putting a new lifter on a used cam. | {{Note1}}The lifter is the most precisely machined part in the engine.
