Look up all the talk about wipping cam lobes on break in with flat tappet. I cannot think of it right now, but an additive has been removed from auto oil, resulting in lots of wiped cam lobes. People use light springs (or remove inner if dual springs) to break in the cam and then change them (put them back). I even saw short ratio rocker arms advertised for cam break in.

Roller lifters do not have this problem.
