As to how or why your guide broke... either it had a flaw in it when it was originally installed, some foreign object got between the lifter and the cam, or the lifter had a catastophic failure are my guesses since the plastic is pretty sturdy and there shouldn't be much in the way of twisting on that lifter when everything is working as it should.

Thanks for the input. The two lifters involved do not look like they suffered catastrophic failure, but the plastic guide looks like it failed along a structural junction. Does anyone know where I can get a picture of the plastic guide as opposed to the "H" guides?
