Took me about 3 hours to pull off the superram today. I confirmed my diagnosis. Collapsed lifter. Looks like light scoring on the roller end as well which means the cam is also F'd. Great. Still need to pull the remaining lifters.

Joel - not sure what happened first. Chicken or the egg? I'm guessing the lifter collapsed and when the valve closed it pushed the rocker arm back and snapped the stud since it had no resistance on the top side. That's an uneducated guess.

Not sure if the lifter failed or got a loose metal particle in it. I'll have to pull it apart and inspect it.

John, congrats on the writing. Keep up the good work.

Hope everyone had a great day.
