No Problem.
For an immediate failure indicator, next time use cast pistons. They will break catastrophically right away and let you know. Your valve has to slam a forged piston quite a bit before it let's go. Might not have been audible with side pipes.
A block-mounted knock-indicator might have sent a signal, but i am not sure of the best way to mount, power and indicate the signal. Might be a nice idea for a product, as a retro-fit to non-modern non-computerized performance cars. Free idea for someone. Probably been done already, but i cannot find it.
