What I was getting at is ,When the cam lobe lifts to the extreme- does the cup of the pushrod get close to the under side of the rocker arm itself?
also when assembleing you cant have enough hands and eyes. Pushrods do getout of place and the tightening begins and damage happens. Pushrods get droped and damage goes unnoticed.Like that rod may have had a fractured cup at the time of assembly and it broke completely later while being driven.
