right, going to cut a very long story short, so.

I have a set of lifters here that were run between 1-2k rpm for 2 hours on an engine that had very little oil getting to the top end, some of them are as they were when i bought them (from autovaux) others have the little squashy bit jammed into the bucket, if you know what i mean. Are these stuck ones now faulty ie i cant put them in another cylinder head?

normal (i think)

stuck

2 together

Also, wheres this little fella come from? It fell out and i didnt see where it came from. Is it just a locating pin thing for the rocker cover? or out of one of the lifters or valve spring area?

here?

thanks

the random bit looks like one of the locating dowels from the block that you sit the head over.
i don't remember the head having any to locate the rocker cover. the gasket lines that up.

Otherwise yeah replace em.
