Crane Roller Lifters OH NO!

Well,we just took the intake off badvaliant's 360 to see why # 4 intake rocker was barely moving. One of his crane ultra pro link bar rivets had come apart and the lifters spun trashing the cam.
I have a spare pair in the shop, but we are wondering if anybody else has had this problem with the cranes? We probably won't have time until monday to check the rest of the lifters out.
It is his only car, so we will have to decide what to do. The cam is an oregon regrind hyd roller, but have been using the crane solid roller lifters lashed .003 cold. 242 246 at .050 mid .500 lift. So, a nice daily driver cam. It has been trouble free for a couple of years, until now.
He built the motor 7 years ago and had a comp 284XE hyd flat until a lifter collapsed. He went solid roller so he wouldn't have that problem again...Now a new problem!
