Ahh...so the lifter roller let go. Thats pretty
interesting and not hard to imagine what it would
do to a camshaft lobe. Makes me what to go back and
re-adjust valve lash. On second thought, not really. ;)

After inspection of the lifter in question, it looks like the
roller on the lifter broke off. The lifter then scraped the lobe
on the camshaft down.

My engine is stock. I can take pix of the lifter and cam shaft if
you (or the list for that matter) is interested...
