Agree completely with not mixing camshaft and lifters once they have been run. I've had to do it a few times (bosses orders) on IH V800's and 817's in TD25's. One I know has over 3500 hours since swap and valve lash has changed less than .002" at last check. Have tried it on small block chevy with hydraulic lifters and wiped 3 lobes off the cam in one race, maybe 25 miles. The low valve spring pressure in low speed engines, along with solid lifters needing some lash clearance which lets more oil between cam & lifter while on the base circle, seems quite forgiving.
