Stock cam and springs. Stock original everything except the valves and guides.

The "contact-point" where the valve tip rests on the lifter tops needs a very small radius, they should NOT be "flat"?
Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. With respect to the "small" valve tip areas and the tops of your existing lifters, you can increase that area by using some lash caps on the valve stem ends, but they'd need to be configured in initially! I also agree with the above post, this doesn't sound like a "sound" plan??
