Looking at that pic, I'd say the cam may be too aggressive for the tie-bar design.
The link may have "topped out" with one valve closed and the other fully open, something had to give.
There's a lot of bad design roller lifter mechanisms just waiting for failure,
magnets near the
oil drains in the valley area are highly recommended.
I'd always believe the "links" should be high on the lifter since some engines won't allow the lifters to be fitted the other way.
