Good advice from all, I did use the vac to pickup the loose stuff.
As to Phil's question about why this all happened, I think I have the answer ! While driving my car home after sitting at my daughter for the winter, in Seattle there's the freeway, and a part of it goes down under the city in a tunnel, for a car pool type lane's, I took that, and I shifted into 2nd and thought I'd open up the cut-outs to hear the roar, well, in the confusion, I forgot i was in second, thinking, I was in 4th ran it up to 60 or so, for a short time, then noticed the tac was at 6000, and temp at 245 or 250, put it in neutral, and then 4th all the way home about 5 miles. I believe it got so hot it
stuck the valve at that time, and broke 1 pushrod and bent 1 pushrod.
