I think that is a legitimate assumption. When I removed my head for thorough inspection / cleaning, I found lots of debris down in the bores of the rotocaps and they were not moving as they should have been.
I would not be surprised if one has failed, even at that mileage.

another side note: if the car was stored for a very long period of time without running, it easy to imagine that the cam was left in the same position, depressing a couple of springs. This, perhaps, could flatten them out?*
