Hi, I have a tool post grinder (dumore) do think I can use that to do the same?

I'll add more fuel to the fire
I coat the lobes and lifters with Isky cam lube ( paste). I make sure the valves are adjusted correctly. I pre-lube the engine with a speed wrench and socket on the oil pump drive shaft. (I use Valvolene 30wt Non-Detergent oil with no extra additives.) I start the engine and immediately take it to 2000 RPMs watching oil pressure. I run it for 20 minutes varying the RPM by 500 or so. I shut it down and check the valve adj. Been doing it this way for years and years with no cam failures!

I got some great news about the engine today and I broke into my happy dance.  It was run on the dyno for 45 minutes and survived its break in this time.  We changed the valve keepers out before the run to remove a little of the valve spring load on the cam.  These will be swapped out for the original keepers that came with the Mummert heads and the engine will be run a little longer just to make sure that the internals are happy with one another.  If that works out ok, we will swap the carb out for the EFI hardware and start the tuning process on Friday.  I can hardly wait as it has only been just over a year since I pulled the engine and ordered the parts.

That's a NO unless you can cut a radius with that tool post grinder.  The lifters need a crown ground on them and the ideal crown would be on a 50-52 inch radius.   If I’m to err to one side of that spec, my own preference is to be closer to the 50” spec.
