I would check the lifter bore clearance in the block just to make make sure it wasn't to tight. The other engine would be getting inspected as well if it was mine.
Sucks to hear, best of luck with it.

Had a miss the last week or two, pulled plugs last week, #8 was clean, had water in cylinder a little looked like, so I pulled intake and found a busted up pushrod, missing 2" of it, and the inner part of lifter was in valley along with rest of pushrod, missing the inner lifter retainer, assume that's in the pan too...
I am thinking since this was for exh. side, the intake poulled air in and it had nowhere to go, lifting head enough to let water into cylinder... gonna pull engine and go over everything... so guess I am don't for the season....I thionk I may upgrade to linked retrofit lifters now...still am not sure why it happened but maybe just bad luck... everything else checks out..

It's cool, just hang onto them for now. If you don't use them let me know, I might sell them. Don't think I can use them anyways, will for sure hit the limiter is my guess with the engines going in my boat.
