Can only assume valve got stuck in valve guide. Happens when clearance is not
right after rebuild or bronze guides are used.

Betreff: [Healeys] Opinions please >>

Listers....Saw this recently in my area ...
Does anyone have experience with this problem and what happened and what was
your conclusion???

PROBLEM:
Motor with under 5K miles since full rebuild - never over rev'd.
One pushrod jumped out from rocker ball - expected nasty noises...
Tappet adjustment nut was tight after jump.
Pushrod slightly bent - as expected, but not enough to permit jump.
No follower damage.
No valve or piston damage.
Compression maintained.

SOLUTION:
Replaced pushrod and tappet screw.
Motor runs just fine.

What happened and why?????????
Opinions please ..............
