im gonna say its the "nice size cam" in your sig that caused it. when i looked it up before, if seemed to be bigger cams that were causing these lifters to fail. mine CTS-V lifters failed, and i was lucky to have a magnetic drain plug to catch part of one, then when i took it apart, there were 2 broken.

even with the nice size cam, the valve train was pritty light.
