Rocker arm did not come loose valve spring is fine no indication anything else was wrong. It was tapping but not bad so I went in to take a look not happy with what I found. They are Johnson 2112OPR lifters I purchased several years ago and just getting around to using them in a new motor. Less than 500 miles so there must have been something wrong with the lifters for this to happen. Cam lobe is ruined and lifter will not come out. After I pull the engine I will need to drill out the rivet and slide it out from the bottom. I have contacted Johnson Lifter and talked to Joe Lewis on the phone. I have turned in a claim on their website. I'm not sure if Johnson will do anything for me. I hope they will do a failure analysis. Being it has been a long time since purchase and I no longer have the receipt I don't know if they will do anything.
