Less than a year after install in my 1993 Mustang Cobra I had a catastrophic failure of a roller lifter. While driving down the freeway I heard the noise, drove home 3 miles and parked it in the garage. Unfortunately didn't have time to tear down the engine to find out why I lost the number 2 cylinder right away. Here is what happens when the roller seizes on the roller axle then destroys the retainer and seizes in the bore. The camshaft knocked the roller off the lifter then forces it up through the oil galley creating a quarter size hole. Here is the video of removing the lower intake and finding the hole.
