Welcome from Florida. Who replaced the lifter? Were quality parts used? If a shop did it and it failed within 10 minutes, it should be under warranty and they need to repair it again! There may be a problem with the oil supply to the lifter.

I replaced the lifter, put a new vlom in and put all new lifters, and upgraded a few other non related items. I cant afford to send to shop. So i need to try and figure out on my own. If possible. Just looking for any advice

Thanks
