I am sure it is a typo as the break in rpm would be more like 2200 and not 1200.
You can pull the rocker shaft and reach down with a good magnet and pull the lifter out without pulling the intake.
Altho, I have done this on a bb, so in second thought, I don't know if this works on a sb.....

J heads? This was about five years ago, but I remember not being able to fish a lifter out with J heads when I suspected a flat lobe.

Hopefully not...but, you need to inspect the bearings and get the debris out of the oil passages and the rest of the engine to be safe.

so if I wipped the cam, then now the whole engine needs rebuilt, right? still havent found the time to look at it
I needs to be torn down and cleaned , new oil pump more than likely and possibly bearings , cylinder and pistons under the wipe lobed need to be looked at .
