Default Cam lobe

Watched real close to see when plunger just cam off clip and then 1/2 turn.
This is with 7/16 studs with crimps nuts, fine thread.
The original lifters had a few that ticked a hair to much and one was spongy.
The new lifters have been very quiet after a few seconds once started.
just was looking to see if wear was normal, considering I swapped lifters
Last year.
I thought if wear mark went clear across nose of cam, lobe was considered
worn.
