yes they are. A guy on FTE mentioned that it happens with the 460 engine. Push rods bend, lifter pops out of bore and oil pressure drops to zip.

i know with GM's that have the hydraulic lifters when they tend to bend rods is due to the hydraulic lifters not pumping up properly at start up... the rods will get out of position and when the cam comes back around BAM lifter slams into it as if it was a solid lifter and bend rod... not saying is what happened with yours but could be a possibility...
