DO NOT get all excited yet Jake.
1) I can almost guarantee that you will need to replace intake or atleast epoxy & grind it due to the backfiring through the intake
2) you will need to pull the head off,....sorry to tell you this, but very common for when rocker breaks, the pushrod beats around on top of lifter and pops out the retaining clip, which then releases thelifter body & spring from its case.
3) OR... you can use your 20/20 vision and a flashlight to look down in hole to confirm clip is completely seated, but MAKE SURE 110% that it is.
Cuz if you don't, the lifter will evebtually come dissasembled down the road and circulate into the rest of your engine. And then you will no longer be getting off easy.

p.s. make sure you find the rest of the rocker (hardened seat part)
