This.
Most (a lot anyway) aftermarket heads seems to have springs for rollers, not tappets. Roller springs are generally too heavy for flat tappets. If you have two springs per valve (inner and outer), take the inner spring out for the break in procedure.
Even if you did everything right, you can wipe a cam lobe with ease.
