Be certain that your cam isn't also flat Dave. The nose of the cam should
have some slope to it, so as to rotate the parts below.  A lot of times if
things stop turning, it's because the cam is worn, and is flat on the nose.
Compare the lobes that have turning bits to those that have grooved
followers.

I don't think they were "clacky" I never heard anything unusual with the
engine running, and I have spent a lot of time driving the car and riding in
it.

So maybe just replace the two...?

Ouch! I've only replaced broken or clacky ones. Clacky I've learned, if
there are

more than one or two, replace them all! Broken, just the broken ones. I'd
classify

yours as "broken" and probably just replace the problem ones, unless there's
an

issue and they TEND to go bad, then do them all. There's always that really
cheap

vw parts guy... proth? Chinese but some of that is ok.
