There was this pinging rattling sound as a little piece of spark plug bounced around the cylinder, I gave it a quick rev and blew it out of the exhaust valve, lol.

The screw on the one I pictured bent 2 pushrods, but the car ran fine for who knows how many years if not from new. Not sure why I even rebuilt it now that I think about it. Glad I did though scoots nice now.
