miles on. I'm running a very mild Comp Cams Xtreme Energy cam XE262 with
their matching hydraulic lifters. Pulled a valve cover and one exhaust
lifter was obviously collapsed. Pulled the lifter and took it apart and a
little spring steel plate, probably about 1 mil thick, that should be just
below the plunger cap was in pieces resting in the bottom of the lifter
body.

to fatigue like this and others are going to go south now on a regular
basis, or if this is an anomaly. Anyone else have these lifters and
experience a similar failure?

procedure. Running fine now. Wondering, though, if I should swap out all
these lifters.
