I think the lifter collapsed and allowed the rocker to eject during a pull I made right before the misfiring started. There is a slight scratch on the cam lobe, but no other real damage I am planning on replacing the lifter and and putting the rocker back in, and hoping for the best.
So the car didn't self destruct?
