sometimes you will find corvair lifters with a wear pattern on the bottom 
surface like a swirl or concave. if left long enough they will cause the lobe to 
wear with a rounded edge finally going into a round lobe condition, just like 
the small block chevy or olds 371 used to do.the start of this looks kinda 
like a star. i have some bad ones here to use as demos.  this was most likely 
caused by bad oil change habits along with pounding the poor thing to death.
