Those lifters are all black from the start.

I would say either faulty part or problem with setup. 10 hrs is an awfully fast failure and usually points to setup from what I’ve seen.

One thing I would do is turn the motor a few revolutions make shure the tie bars don't bind the set that I had here where not bent rite. And also look at where the buttons rub the bars see if there is heavy rubbing on just one side.
