If you verify the push rods are turning you should be fine. Curious did you remove the inner valve springs and use a good detergent motor oil?
With the roller failures right up their with HFT, looks like it's a crap shoot. And there are far more people running FT cams.
B-man is onto something with the tool steel solid FT lifters if funds allow.
