Only way that I know a lifter tray can fail is if its so worn it allows the lifter to turn in its cup. Which usually means they should have been checked & most likely replaced if the heads came off for a H/C install or new lifter install.

Once that happens the lifter will tear the cam up as its no longer pointing in the correct direction for the cam to roll over the tip of the lifter as designed.

IMO for $8x4 they should be changed anytime the heads come off.....
