what cause this comp lifter to go bad? 
The cam and lifters was bought used together from a well know person on this board..i inspected them. Every looked almost new.(only had a few pulls and passes on cam and lifters) After 1300 miles of breaking in new engine..lifters went bad and took out the cam..what caused this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

that cam was in a ls2 (402) 11.8 cr,TFS heads,etc... the plastic guides were new. my old ls1(382) had even a bigger cam(258/264 previous owner) it had 8-10K on cam before lifter broke.
