There are a couple used valve grinders for sale here in Vegas, but neither have the stem grinding attachment, and I hate to spend several hundred for a machine that will get used once or twice.
You are right about making sure you are on the heel of the cam. Might the position of the piston be of any help?
Any info about the imported lifters? If I am going this far, might just replace all of them. Even though the ones in there now have just 13000 miles on them.
I am not sure there are experienced mechanics anywhere around here. Just swap out old, put in already rebuilt new.
