Default How does this happen?

My buddy has a 93 Fox with a 351 Windsor and just Installed trickflow stage 2 cam, and trickflow retro 351 lifters. The motor hasnt run since it got back from the machine shop. Nothing big .30 over, forged conneting rods, forged aluminum pistons.
Ok.. he put everthing together, adjusted the valves, he never started the motor using the starter just by hand at the crank a couple a times to adjust the valves. the driver side valves would not adjust to our likeing, so we took the upper and lower intake off and notice a set of the lifters was bent. I have pics but dont know how to post them on this thread. if someone could tell me that would help you figue out how i bent them???

Bent lifters???

The lifters ride up and down in a bore and they are very stout units... what part of them got bent? None of this makes sense... are you sure you mean LIFTERS?
