Does that allen screw need to turn Clockwise or counter? Because the allen head is on really hard.

I run solid roller lifters.
Guy,

Although we can't see it in the photo, I'll assume it is the middle pushrod in the photo that you are talking about.

I would be pulling the intake off, then pulling the lifters and cam out.

If you have had a roller lifter self-destruct, shrapnel will be in the sump.

You say it did this 9000 miles ago, did you replace the cam as well or only the lifter? Who set the valve lash? Does it have adequate valve to piston clearance? Plus all the other clearance checks around the valvetrain?

The locknut holds the setscrew, like the majority of shaft mounted adjustable valvetrains.
