How do hydraulic flat tappet lifters fail?
Just went thru similar ordeal on a newly purchased Dodge 886
Low miles under 40 thousand engine popped as u throttled it up
Well after removing intake found a wipped out cam lobe so being truck is very heavy I ordered an Isky towing cam and luckily all went well
I soaked lifters used Isky lube with cam and dumped a bottle of stp over cam before putting intake on
I guess THIS TIME luck was on my side about 500 miles on said cam and zero issues also purchased Summit brand lifters from a member .
