I ran the standard S&S lifters w/travel limiters in the 2009 SEUC for 29,960 miles.
When replaced they did show some sign of wear but nothing alarming.
I'm hoping this new "Premium" set last.
I'm damn tired of worrying about lifters.

Had about the same mileage on mine before changing out to these new lifters.  Started chirping on way home from Ribfest (rear intake), luckily caught it before any serious damage was done.  Going to change them every 20K miles going forward.

The lobe does not have a matching scar.

Well I doubt that wheel has an isolated area that did not make it thru heat treat, so something passed thru there.
Is it pronounced enough to be able to catch your fingernail?

Scott, something "passing through" doesn't make sense to me.

I would think something not showing up on the lobe would indicate debris jammed in the lifter. But how - where could something like that come from, especially considering nothing else is scarred like that.

Checked, can't feel it all, not even using a needle. One other roller has a barely even visible similar mark.

Were those S&S lifters w/limiters you used the "Premium" lifters?

Chip, when did the "premiums come out?
Mine have no text on them other then small barely readable numbers starting with "327"
