What happens when you are at 6k rpms on the front stretch and miss 4th and shift to 2nd?

Still runs?
No obvious loud knock but it's just "not right"? I've bent pushrods before. The type 4 p/r tubes are pretty sturdy, but you could easily give one a tweek and make it leak. Downside is, it usually means a bent valve too- if only slightly at the head. If you float the valves enough to bend one it's usually because it was trying to close and the piston came up and had a close encounter with it before it could shut. If you had a hole in the case ...well...that's usually obvious from my experience. If it runs with a hole, it's a sound straight from hell. Secound only to the diagonally snapped crankshaft that still locks together enough to run...thats a weird weird monster.
