As promised. The lifter off of this lobe is fine. I'm not really disagreeing with Tony. If you take enough of these apart, you'll see a lot of scuffing of pushrod and valve tips. You'll also see exactly what he talks about on the lifter bodies. I wonder, with enough low pressure and idling, that heat builds between roller wheel and lobe. Thus, starting to "peel" up the surface. Kinda like taking a torch to mill scale on flat bar. The rest is history. But, as I said earlier, the wheel on this lifter was not damaged. IDK.
