Re: Pre-LS swap questions

Well this weekend I got my engine torn down for the rebuild. My #2 piston was stuck due to rust but I got it out. I am definitely going to have to go .030 but we will see what the machinist says. All 16 lifters were slightly stuck because of all the carbon. I gave them a gentile tap and they all came out. I am hoping to reuse them if I can get them all cleaned up. The rollers on them all still moved good. When I got the cam out I must have rubbed it on the way out because I see a light hairline scratch on one of the surfaces where it sits in the cam bearing. Its very fine but I can lightly feel it with my finder nail. Do you guys think I can still reuse it?

Here is a pic of the stuck piston before I got it out. It shows the rust.
