8V carnage.
I have lost count of the roller tappets I have fitted, but this is my first broken tappet. Add to this damage there is a piece of tappet embedded in the cam box and the 8 valves are all mushroomed over and guides worn. Must have been a tad rattly one would assume. Bottom end will be toast from the metal particles floating around which then embed in the bearings.
