Scratching my head here as well.. The car had ran likely 3-5 hours before this occurred. Been to 3-4,000 rpm and still no issues. Timing was perfect today for about 5 minutes at 35-38 degrees coming in at 3,000 rpm and holding. Went for a ride around the block, and a ticking sound was bothering me. I decided to pull the valve cover and reset the rockers to see if the noise would go away. I then discovered the pushrod. Lifter looked fine. Looked like the pushrod jumped out of the lifter by the little mark on the intake. Lifter looked fine. Pic below of the little mark on the intake...
