Not sure what you are asking for. Check these out and you will see some needle valves.

Thank you sir i wrote wrong i mean tappets needle
Not super sure I understand the question either. Some performance lifters have needles at the roller. I would pull your pushrods. Remove the lifters and inspect them. If you didn’t find anything in your oil or filter what is causing you to question the lifters? Engine knocking?

Oh jeez. Yeah that sounds like a total rebuild. If your lifters are that damaged you most likely have a bad crank bearing internally. You will need to split the case to determine that though… sorry to hear this for sure

Those needle bearings didn't disappear. They are waiting for you to be on the road with no cell service for your phone and then they will show up and wipe out your engine. Murphy's Law !! :( Page 5-29 shows a small filter on the high pressure side that you can check. I don't think 20 bearings will fit but it's something to look at before you tear the engine apart.

Are you sure you don’t have bushed lifters? They don’t have any needle bearings. So you wouldn’t find any. Obviously you have had a major problem or you wouldn’t be here looking for answers. What exactly happened?
