If you used bronze valve guides in you rebuild, the valve can get stuck when
hot (in this case valve got stuck in closed position).
That's why I only used old boring iron guides!

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 ..............
