Pushrod woe

As usual, click any image to zoom in.

I've taken the inspection cover off and you can see the exhaust push-rod seated tightly under the exhaust rocker arm (at the 3 o'clock position).

At the 10 o'clock position the inlet valve's rocker arm has been separated from its push-rod which is now wedged firmly behind the rocker arm's downward facing semicircular nipple.

This means the inlet valve is jammed open probably resulting in a bent valve stem.  Hope there hasn't been any more damage done.
