Default SE lifters. Problems?

Anybody heard of the SE lifters coming apart on occasion? I've had a little top end noise since I did the BigBore. To me it doesn't amount to anything. I used the SE lifters. Had it in the shop for repairs unrelated to the BB. The mechanic suggested I reinstall the stock lifters to eliminate the noise (It really isn't much noise) and the possibility of SE lifter failure. Opinions?

I have a mate with a SE113 and he had a lifter collapse. Broke both chains, destroyed the right case.

Stock or S&S would be my advice.....

Here is my 2 cents worth on the S.E. lifters.
