Hi Bob

Never seen that happen, seen them bend, or slip off the rocker arm because the nut on the adjuster got loose and the adjuster backed off. All of these made some noise but not as much as I would have expected.

You were sure lucky that all bits were easy to recover. Reread the message and saw that it was an intake, wonder if you loose more power to a closed intake or a closed exhaust?

Would have been an interesting thing to have fail on the road while driving to instantaneous go from 6 cylinders to 5 under load.

Cheers Phil
