Collapsed lifter? Here's what I think is the culprit for my industrial sewing machine LS1 noise. Does this look like the lifter is collapsed? Could my cam be damaged?

The rocker is torqued down to 22ft lbs. I'm able to move the pushrods down about 1/4"...... And yeah the rocker does have some side to side motion, but all my rockers do. After reading some other threads, some lateral movement is normal.
Question is, should I just replace all the lifters and do the trunion upgrade or just the one lifter and the trunions? Either way, it's a PITA.
The lifters I have in now are the CTS-V ones. 5.3 heads, 7.4 PRs and stock mls head gaskets.

it looks like the bearings in the rocker are bad. Just do the comp cam trunion upgrade and call it a day.

Thanks guys. This may be a tax return fix job. I plan on doing new lifters and the trunion upgrade. This thing is damn loud..... Louder than any other LS I've heard.
