Comp lifter problems?
I had a problem with some comp lifters that were purchased last year. I followed the break in procedure, took EVERY precaution and I still had a lifter fail. This is why I am in the process of switching to a roller cam I had to tear down the entire motor and clean EVERYTHING, replace the oil pump, rod and main bearings, piston rings, I picked metal out of my piston skirts for 2 hours with a dental pick .the list goes on and on.
Some say they cant justify spending money on a roller cam but with the cost rebuilding your motor if a lifter fails, the price of the roller cam doesnt look that bad anymore.
Here are some pictures of the carnage.
