Well it happened.....i think......heard a excess lash sound driving, slowly...lol
thought i had an adjuster come loose. pulled passenger side cover and .......
OOPS....3/8 of an inch valve lash on #3 intake, and the adjuster wasn't loose.
peeking into the lifter valley it looks fine, strap still on the lifters.....no ugly-ness....next step i'm pulling the pan to see how the cam faired...
pushrod isn't bent at all, got a couple little dimples from the pushrod hitting the rocker (T&D's) off center but still usable. i'll post some pics as i tear into it......
