I found the problem! The lobe is wiped and the lifter is trashed. Must have been like this for awhile. Not sure if it was coincidence that after the oil change that the lifter wore through and collapsed the lifter and the pushrod fell out. New cam, bearings, lifters and pushrods I guess are in my future. Is it worth the effort to pull the motor out or do in car swap of the cam?
