The whole top end wear from the minute the engine is first started, so mix and match may work for a few miles until the worn cam lobes grind them down again.
The cam and lifters need to be replaced as an entire new set really.
True I have seen this done. the second hand engine I bought for its block (as mine had large hole) was bad two of the lifters were in fact so bad I had to fource them out with grips. the cam mushrooms the bottom out....nice.
