Here's an example of a collapsed lifter. The source of the loud clack-clack-clack was easily determined in this case. The excessive flow of oil was obvious. This photo was taken with the engine running at approximately 500 rpm and using a very fast shutter speed on the camera.

The lifter body was firmly stuck in the cam follower. The top of the cam follower was broken in the attempt to remove the lifter. Major surgery followed.
