I have had the snap ring come out of a couple of lifters in my Buick 455 Stocker and my theory is that when you break a rocker arm the loose push rod hits that snap ring ,or in my case the mickey mouse little stainless keeper and pops it out and then that is when the lifter come apart.A good set of rocker arms will help this problem.
