A Teenager and His Swinger

So the car was making a loud ticking noise, so I pulled the valve cover to check the rocker arms. I pushed down on one and it had no pressure at all. After pulling the intake the noise was coming from a lifter that had torn apart. After pulling it out, the lifter had worn down so far that it made a hole which caused the lifter to lose oil pressure. I've never seen one do this before, especially only having a few hundred miles on it. New lifter, new 160 T stat, and an oil change later, it's all back together and running.
