Does a bad lifter on a 2015 5.7 Hemi mean a total engine rebuild?

Not necessarily. If gotten to quickly enough, the metal will be caught in the upper end by mesh filter. That spares the bottom end. The repairs done early enough last a good long time, typically. With your mileage, I'd just replace the engine, though.Does a bad lifter on a 2015 5.7 Hemi mean a total engine rebuild?
I had one lifter roller bearing go bad at 243,000 miles so I replaced cam, lifters, all the timing gears, chain, guides and oil pump and doing fine 12,000 miles later. It's my work truck so expecting it to last still a long time. Well till I retire in 2 years 7 months and 23 days, not that I'm counting!
