Prior to this incident, I would have thought surely the severity of the pitting would have chewed thru the rollers on the lifters.....and.....the springs I'm running are 250# seat / 825# open!

Mine went out around 14k miles 
How can I find out if it's my cam or what that caused the damage?
Should I ask Futral if they are willing to look at the cam or have someone else do that?
Oh and my springs are manley duals .650 lift

Will these results be posted in this thread?

I am a little concerned after talking with a few others that the results might be seen as biased since a neutral evaluator is not being used... with all respect for cstraub for stepping and looking into this for us...

I'm thinking the same thing. What cam did you have in your car?
I'm anxious for the results.
Why does my lifter look so bad compared to all the pics in this thread?
