Weak valve spring or an over rev or mismatched parts. Is it a manual trans? If so...I'd lean toward mechanical over rev. Nobody will ever admit to missing a shift or over revving, but if the valves spring is good, components not mismatched... then that's what happened.

When the valve floats the pushrod is unstable bouncing all over and it hits that clip kicking it out of the groove.

Were all these dyno pulls in your view... they never bumped it into 2nd instead of 4th as a whoopsi...

I was there the whole time it was on the dyno. The tuner didn't miss a shift or anything, slowly went into 4th. If was running and idling fine after the pull. It was only when we shut the car off and tried to start it back up, is when it was having a hard time turning over.
