Perhaps in the most litteral sence ,the TSRM calls it a lifter ,but I'd just call that a bushing. In any case ,we agree a dry top end lead to premature wear. I got a refurbished head on ebay for $450 that came with everything except camshaft oil seals. With the increased open areas around the moving parts the oil has less restriction and hence lower pressure.
