    Let's see if I can figure out how to post pictures.

    I'm laughing out loud!

    If they do come through, you can see the roller tracks on the cam and a sizeable chunk missing out of the one lobe.

    You can also see copper color coming through on some of the cam lobes and on the roller of the one lifter.

    I think it's just sticky at the moment because with any amount of throttle, it pumps up, and the noise goes away.
    I am wondering out loud here…would/could an oil additive like stiction eliminator possibly help? If roller lifter is turning in bore, probably not, but maybe?

    And to think that no noise or problems were alerting to a problem.

    Good catch!

    From the looks of things, I'm pretty sure it was about to get noisy!!

    It's definitely not what I was expecting to see when I pulled it apart.

    Holy buckets.

    I see a cam change is forthcoming for me.

    Did they warranty?

    Would be nice if they paid the bill.

    When did you do the conversion?

    About 10k ago, and I had Wagler do their cam with Jesel solid roller lifters.

    My truck hasn't had a warranty for a while.
