Lucky it didn't drop valves with the rocker arm pushing on the retainer.
A stud girdle might have helped,maybe prolonged the studs from breaking,but sooner or later, something would have broken....or it would have dropped a valve..........when things are this much out of wack, it's just a matter of time before something fails and 690 miles is not that long a time............
