Fresh engine, wiped cam? Tick? (new pics added)

ive seen severly blead down lifters sink a 1/4 inch in.

I actually had one collapsed lifter on my engine I was building a few weeks ago that was sunk in a 1/4 in and I could make it rattle....put it in a buckket of oil and pumped it manually and it has stayed pumped up since,it just sat for a long time without running.

but with yours being a running engine with only 250 miles on it and having the problems we have all discussed....I am still saying yours are probably all junk
