Yea, not expensive, just fix it. I have a few stock NEW pushrods if you need one I can send it to you. Lifters are like 5 bucks from summit. If you go to advance auto parts they should have stock rockers in stock for our cars, I work there and we have a bunch in stock, I think its just the rocker though so reuse your bolt and fulcrum, if you need those go to a junkyard and pull one off an explorer. They actually have the pushrods in stock too thats where I got mine, they're Federal-Mogul too.

are factory lifters good for use with aftermarket cams/rockers/heads?

i pulled my lifter and it was in 3 pieces, and both nubs wer rubbed off of the pushrods, plus the pin came out the tip of the rocker and the roller was cocked. so i tapped the pin back-in, but im scared to use the same rocker... it's a CRANE tha'ts out of business, so i'll use a COMP rocker...

Crane is back in business. S&S Cycle bought and reopened them earlier this year. I'd be concerned about the cam lobe, if the roller was broken. It doesn't take much to wear out the lobe. Just ask the classic guys who have flat tappet cams.
