I think his point here is that a failed lifter like you experienced is a rare occurrence. You could choose from any number of name brand parts and should be fine. It's entirely possible you got a cheap offshore copy in a house brand cam kit. Unless you know what brand yours was, you don't know what to avoid.
Sorry I should have worded it differently but you did ask for our experience also . I do run a repair shop and have rebuilt or repaired a number of engines over the years and have never had or heard of a lifter coming apart as yours have . Very curious also that your two lifters were some time apart . Happening immediately would make one think of simple poor manufacturing but yours is odd . Not enough oil flow ?
Oilpressure is good.
The oil pressure is good, I don't think I have any way of checking the oil flow to the lifters.
So i will order a complete set of new lifters and hope to get some better ones.
Thank you.

Definitely what I would do . As messy as it is running it with valve covers off should give you a pretty good indication of oil flow through the lifter .
As I wasn't happy with how my brake pedal felt when braking, I decided to upgrade to a Hydroboost brake booster....
I removed the good old piece from a friend's Chevy G20 Van.
As this neck was too long, I first had to fabricate an adapter.
after that i noticed the original Chevy retaining plate was angled and i couldn´t use it neither in one direction nor in the other, i had to make my own.
more to come...
I noticed that I hadn't finished my “Hydroboost” chapter yet.
And I have to tell you, that was one of the best decisions I made regarding this truck. It brakes absolutely fantastically now, like a modern vehicle, with excellent braking performance requiring very little pedal force and wonderfully controllable.
