Thanks for all your replys.

We removed the intake today and the sight was unplesant to say the least. We managed to remove all but 7 lifters the right way and one of them had been chewed down almost 1/4" and that lifter was the only one that the plunger spring still worked in...The cam looked OK on a couple of lobes but all of the lifters was worn in one way or another ?!

Bad cam cast ?

All brand new parts $2000 wrecked in 30minutes.
I'll get in touch with JEGS and Compcams and discuss this. Everything has been assembled based on their instructions. But as usual i'll probably get no compensation from Compcams or JEGS.

How should i proceed...i assume that i need to take the whole thing apart and flush it so i get rid of all the metallic debris ?

PS. I'll post pictures of this nightmare later on..right now i'm busy removing the engine and taking it apart..AGAIN !!! Douh !

Thanks
/Jonas
