I guess its possible that it was caused from all the slack but it just had me thinkingQuote:

If it's a collapsed lifter you won't get any oil to the top and it will just happen again. Save some time and pull that head off.
Or at least have peace of mind.
The lifters all had oil on top of them when the valve cover was removed.
I sure hope it isn't lifters. IF it is I think I will get a z06 cam lifters and springs. Pulling heads sucks though.
