well, i took off my intakes to get to what i though was going to be a collapsed lifter. What I found was a lifter that the roller that rests on the cam was snapped in half. The lifter had only 5000 miles on them. They were FRPP. I was driving normal when it happened. Anyone else have this happen??

i would think a pushrod bent or a valve before the lifter broke in half. probably had a crack in it already. you may need to replace the cam as well.

I have never broke a stock or factory style roller lifter.

Like others mentioned, something else gave first. I would think the cam is also trash along with some other valve train parts, and possible some pistons.

they can just break , I have a free shortblock thanks to this happening to a 98 explorer 5.0 engine with only 58K miles on it under normal driving
