Re: lifters
If the lifter is damaged, then the cam is most likely damaged or rounded as well ...

Re: lifters
Don't forget to add if its a stock cam that this is a common problem with that lifter and cam lobe. The cams weren't ground right and that lifter doesn't rotate properly and it rounds off the cam lobe. Mine did the same thing. I put a Lunati cam in. It is supposed to have a special grind on this lifter lobe to make sure this doesn't happen again. I'm sure other cams might to but off hand don't know any.
