Thanks for all the reply's. Plan on putting a new set of lifters in it and give it a go. Might buy a new set of heads for it this summer and if I do I will go with an adjustable roller rocker setup.
How many miles do you have on this motor since this all happened?
It's kind of surprising you don't have a flat/ damaged cam lobe already from running those used lifters, and you'll be taking another chance when installing that new set.
A lot of people on this board aren't so lucky even with all new parts.
I hope this all works out for you and you've Dodged a bullet.
Over ther years Ihave seen people that put the lifters in a box and reused them when reassembling. Making sure that the lifters and cam are clean and well lubricated and they end result was no problem. Granted it isn't a good idea but if you have run it for even a relatively short time with no problem I would not worry about it and run it. Save your money for later up grades. The damage would have been virtually immediate.

I would be asking why did it only happen on one? If all these assumptions were correct, you would have 16 pushrod problems, not one. IMO.
That is why I asked this question. Most people say it just happens sometimes BUT I want to know the cause. These lifters have less than 15 miles on them plus 10-15 min idle time after installing them.
