What would ruin the lifter if that is what bound it up, just it and the cam digging into each other, or something internal?
What others have reported is the lifters become stuck in the tappet. With a non moving valve the compression of the cam raising a lifter that cannot move or collapse anymore causes the remaining trapped oil inside the relatively thin lifter bodies to balloon the body out and more or less affix the lifter to the tappet. Even if the lifter is able to be removed from the tappet the swollen body and that lifter will no longer function.
