Just slip the covers off, you'll soon see something amiss.
Some other possibilities :- broke spring,broke spring retainer,broke rocker arm,bent push rod. The thing that seems to happen with roller lifters is with the heavier valve spring loads - causes hammering of the lifter follower resulting in skidding on the cam until total failure or otherwise the lifter guide plate has failed and let it(lifter) rotate which creams the cam that turns into lapping paste and explores the whole motor [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cussing.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]
Please have a good nights sleep now [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] 'tis all fixable
