YA! New cam = collapsed lifter! 
Got the cam in and put her on the dyno...during break in we lost a lifter.
Sucks...but thats the game.
Guys, if you do a cam...do the lifters at the same time. It really sucks having to tear it all down agian.

Yeah, I just did my heads and the lifters I pulled out were exactly the same as the comp 850's I replaced them with. Even with 90 thousand mile they had almost no wear at all. What a waste of $200.
