Bought another set of lifters to replace the ones in my engine. Opened one and compared it to the ones in the engine. They were the same size with no external difference. Where the push rod sets was the same as the ones installed. I returned them for a refund but I might get them back and change them anyway. Today I'll try the ones I took the oil out of in #1 cylinder and see how they work on that hole. Crank gear was a single slot gear. If they don't show any change I'll disassemble the engine front and check timing marks. If that is good it comes down to the cam being wrong for the engine and require a replacement to be installed. Hate the thought of that.
