New cam issues,

I put Crower Cam Savers in this Ford 400 I built for Gladys and while they broke in fin and had a great wear pattern, their valving was defective and they all ticked when the engine got hot. About 175 bucks down the toilet. I got some Melling $4.99 each lifters from Summit and zero noise cold or hot. Go figure.
Yep it's weird how **** ends up happening.
I work mostly on cylinder heads and see a lot of BS hydraulic lifters coming in rock solid causing bent valves. But that's mostly **** wearing out or people not changing their oil when they're supposed to.
