Another small block project starts tomorrow

In absolutely no way am I trying to be critical, or a smart guy. When I took my Comp 8043-16 lifters to my engine builder, he took one look at them and said no way. Said he absolutely would not run them in anything he built. His opinion was in favor of Isky, or Jesel. He also was in favor of lifters keyed into block rather than the use of lifters with link bars. Again, not trying to be a know it all, simply sharing a situation I was involved with regarding Comp solid roller lifters.

An unfortunate failure for sure, I hope the damage was restricted to the lifter and cam. Good luck with rebuild.
