Default Wiping a cam lobe

Anyone ever wipe a cam lobe upon start up? Aside from a shifting valve spring, or weak material, what else can cause this? is a hydraulic more prone to this or solid lifter? Sorry for the 20 questions, but my neighbor just had this happen on a motor that was fresh, but broke in he claims. His motor is a SBC/Pump gas, 10.5 to 1, high volume oil pump, hyd. lifter, mild cam. Thanks, Scoot
