Food for thought. These look similar in design to GM LS lifters that use the plastic bucket retainers. Those are removed in favor of tie bar lifters due to rotation even with the buckets. This occurs with aggressive cam profiles along with typical engine heat softening the plastic. Seen it first hand. Only takes a few seconds to warrant a new cam. If the retainer for these is plastic, I would shy away.
