do you mean "why do lifters go bad"?
Well over reeving an engine can kill a lifter. Its a ticking that sticks around usually in between a certain rpm and load.
Some times lifters can gum up and prevent a check ball from seating. this is usually apparent when the lifter makes constant noise of noise just when the engine is cold. A fix for this is using a detergent of some sort like ATF or Sea Foam.
I'm no expert but this has been my findings. good luck.

Lifter noise in 3 liter Chrysler engine?
These engines would tick if they were low on oil. Try changing the oil and filter and rechecking it. But these engines were also good for having lifters go bad. If the oil change doesn't work, and providing the engine is in good mechanical condition (no sludge build up, etc...) put some lifters in and you should be good to go.
