"I can't stop. . ." - Flux Pavillion
I breathed a sigh of relief here because the R65/R45 lifters are unique (the pushrod runs inside them to account for the shorter cylinders) and they are NLA. These were pristine, they are staying!
It seems that a piece of FOD got in the bearing at some point and scored it. And the darker area of wear at the edge of the bearing is 0.02mm more worn than the center. The standard bearings are $27 each from the dealer, which seems expensive, but I am not going back in there, the single use rod bolts are $8 each so that is $16 to take a look in a few thousand miles, no thanks.
