Got to love this damn engine stuff. All it takes is one little part failure to cause a lot of problems. Hope that everything is ok. It sounds like you have a handle on most of it. If the camshaft and other parts look ok you may be fine. I would wonder why it did this in the first place. If the nut got loose and the adjuster backed of it cold have had quite a bit of lash and been popping the valve around on the seat and knocked the lock out. Just hard to tell which happened first.

Good luck, Keith Craft
