In the interest of full disclosure, I decided against using the retainers for this reason- if they're real this easy to install, I figured that it could potentially just be something else bouncing around and decided to wait it out. I'm hoping I'm far from right and that this is a freak accident
For sure. The reason I got these retainer kit was because my rocker arm fell and flung itself out of the valve cover a few months after the engine came back... fully rebuilt. This retainer kit was to solve that issue and now this happened.

They are sending me a new set so I will get them put on and disclose all the info when all is said and done.
