I removed the intake and closely examined the lifter ... I found that there was no under-cut which can be viewed when looking through the oil port located on the side of the lifter( this under-cut is present on all others ) This I assume would allow the flow of oil into the internal pump chamber.Was this the same problem ??????? in the previous discussion

the oil fill hole on the side of the lifter wasnt completely punched through during the machining. i got the set replaced and all is well. it sux having to take it all back apart again to fix this, but crap happens. at least i'm not losing clips into my engine (lol, speaking of comp r's, i found a clip/ring in my oil pan the other day. i had pulled my oil pan about a year ago and cleaned it all out best i could and had the top end pulled apart. including heads valvetrain and intake. found 4 out of 8 clips. changed my oil just the other day and the magnet was holding onto two halfs of clips. freeking crazy!).
