Default advice on cam please people

right after my zvh started running on 3 cylinders i striped engine to see the cause pistons and rings wer fine had a closer look at the head and one lifter was very loose upon closer inspection the cam has ground the bottom of the lifter away its now approx 5mm smaller then the others so the valve wont open

so i need new lifters and cam

it had a kent cvh37 cam in what ever that means

and anti pump lifters

the head is ported and has big valves double valve springs etc

so what cam kit would you reccomend for my 2.1 zvh?

thanks for any help
