As Jarrid pointed out, this is a condition of many VB lifters (as I
have). When I built my $3k+ motor I purchased lifters from VB because
Rick didn't have any and I was in a hurry to get ready for SUNI. When
I got my lifters I was shocked, as you are. All of the chips (on maybe
3 of the lifters) were on the bore surface, not the lifter face. My
machinist assured me that it is a common problem and that I need not be
concerned. 3000 miles later my engine runs flawlessly (except for that
annoying CD150 run-on).
