Comp Cams lifter bore grooving tool
Does anybody know of a lifter bore grooving tool made by someone other than Comp Cams? They want about 150 clams for one, that sure seems like an awful lot of money for a pretty simple tool.

Sympathize with you, as I always felt like I paid too much for my mushroom lifter tool, but didn't know of alternatives.

I assume you're doing solid lifters? Why not just use lifters with the EDM hole in them to put oil to the lobe?

Yes, the EDM oiling makes good sense. 
Jim, I've got to dig around and find that tool so I can give you a good look at it. Works really well, and takes far more time to debur afterwards than to actually modify the bottom of the bores in the first place. I've given some thought to doing a mushroom instead of the solid roller for that 427 BB of mine. Hmmm. I wonder if anyone does EDM mushroom lifters...
BTW, son of Thumpr is still in the picture.
