Lifter pump can result from instability of the valve spring package too.
If the valve spring goes into a harmonic oscillation, or anything happens to make the valve spring lose control of the valve, the lifter will pump up to take up the room. And that, is when the burnt valve seats and such will happen. If the lifter takes hours/days to bleed down, then that also can make the problem much longer lasting, which means worse damage resulting.
While hydraulic lifters are known to have pump issues at high rpms, they are generally okay until higher than 6000 rpm and maybe up to 7000 rpm, PROVIDING that the valve spring package is giving good control.
If the pre-load is sufficiently deep to avoid any thermal expansion problems of excess lash occurring, then the primary cause of any pumping-up of the lifters would be loss of valve spring control over the valves.
Knowing what Enfield valve springs are like, especially since it is well known that the AVL had valve control problems at 5800 rpm, and the UCE valve springs are VERY similar(maybe identical) to the AVL valve springs, that might be where the pump up problem lies.
We always use our ACE proprietary valve spring package on all our heads, to avoid issues like this cropping up. Valves get out of control on solid lifters too, if the springs are lacking, but it doesn't cause the lifters to pump up.
We have resources to work some mods on the hydraulic lifters to solve various pump-up/bleed-down issues they may have, if that becomes necessary.
