Chipped lifter bushings?
I have an overheating 2002 discovery II, 230'km. ]Confirmed it was a head gasket leak and got to work on the teardown.
Just removed the heads and valley gasket. I noticed that the bushing that the lifters slide into are worn and chipped as if the lifter squashed them. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this and if it needs to be addressed before reassembly.

Dull spot facing tools during the machining of the block at the factory.
Not a functional surface so it will not be a problem.
If they haven't fallen of already no reason to think they ever will.
If you want to break off the bigger ones with a pair of pliers go for it, just don't drop them into the engine.
