I'm wondering if you had any piston to valve contact from broken parts getting wedged.

This thread has my curiosity up as I'm currently assembling my first complete engine build. Usually I farm out the work, I have a lot of left over parts from different builds and I thought I would use them up.

I'm rebuilding the 302 68 J heads and have springs that tested 420 lb. @ .512. I'm using a Ross roller cam leftover from the Cobra build and installing it in a 289 block. I just started looking at retrofit lifters and I like the Lunati or Howards link bar lifters. Any suggestions?
