Maybe you dodged a bullet there, Orville. I have a set of old Isky roller
lifters in my shop that use the obsolete 'fork-and-blade' method of
anti-rotation. One valve broke a spring at high revs during an event. The lifter on
that spring floated due to the reduced spring pressure, unlocked the lifter
pair and tore one lifter boss out of the block while destroying the cam.
Completely unrepairable damage- the block was junked. Good luck and dyno-test
the motor again once you have the new parts! Cheers- J Deryke
