That’s me… I finished a build on a new 482 MR1A block in July. Same cam grind, brand new short travel hydraulic roller lifters (Johnson). Made about 85 runs and…. Lifters checked out. 4 different had loose pins and 3 of them were stuck in the bores. I removed pan, gently slid the pins back into place and they fell out (except #7E, I’ll have to remove crank).
Talk about a swift kick in the nuts! Think I’ll be switching to SR and bushed lifters in the future.
