Default the after math of my motor
my rocker are came apart, bent my pushrod, which broke the lifter tray that let the lifter turn sideways. th cam lobe then ate the roller almost off the lifter. i had needle bearings all throughout the motor and metal shavings. as you can see, the lifter bore is trashed. the block is being machine. the lifter bore is going to be bored and sleeved.

Yeah my rocker came apart a few weeks ago, so far, no sign of damage anywhere else, but I gotta pull the heads to check the lifters.
