bbc roller lifter wear ?

i am pulling the heads off of my 555 bbc and inspected the solid roller lifters. i noticed one pair came out slightly hard, had to work them out. then i noticed that there is scuffing on the side towards the cylinders. they all have it but all of the others moved nicely. all of the rollers were fine and the cam looks fine. didn't feel any scoring on the lifter bores either but will have to look a little deeper tomorrow. dart big m block, anyone seen anything like this? has about 800 street miles on it, hasn't been to the track yet. thanks in advance, paul c.

Dart big m here too, had a minor issue with my comp lifters just getting them in when they were new. I had to put the roller end just below the axle in a vise and pull the two ends in a tad, worked great since and that was three years ago.
