The brand new engine had to come out so I could completely disassemble to make sure there were no pieces left inside. I upgraded them to the c-clip type of lifters
Then I had several of their stamped rocker arms crack and break (thought I broke a valve). Found cracks starting in several more of them on inspection. Upgraded to a better quality rocker arm from them too.
Lesson I learned was the low end comp cam parts are JUNK.
On my LS build I bought a set of $$$ Morel lifters. The outsides of the bodies were covered in machining marks/scratches like they were completely missed in QC. They went back (vendor accepted them back without issue after he saw the pictures) and I replaced them with a high end GM lifter.
