And the winner is.....Vector1....

Tore engine down today...it was a dogbone that had one of the ends broken off, which of course caused the roller lifter to rotate enough to stop rolling and flat spot...arrrr...which means new cam, roller lifter and retainer "dogbone"! Got to love engine builders who modify things that shouldn't be modified...note...do NOT machine down dogbones to fit them into the space around the roller lifter on a Dart 351w block, or at least make sure you don't take it so far as to weaken the tempered metal or so thin your grandma could break it with her rocker!!! I replaced the original pic with a pic of the 'culprit'...
