Bought me some new Melling lifters from Rockauto to replace the slow-turning or stationary lifters. After replacing them with the Melling lifters nothing happens at all.

Pretty ticked off. Makes me wonder if the cam is still decent. I measured the lobe lift before assembly and all intake/exhaust lobes had about equal height, but I couldn't detect any noticeable taper then. Might have to pull the cam, and have it reground, along with the lifters... Not the news I was waiting for, to say the least
