Hello
Thank you all for your valuable help
The weather being less cold, I went to the hall.
I removed the valve covers, the spark plugs.
With strong lighting, I saw on of the lifters are the model with the tie bar !!!!
The valve of cylinder n° 2 has the most gap

You know I would go through and readjust them all and fire the motor up, see how it sounds.
Sutphen does have a good comment, sure doesn't look like any oil in the top end, what is up with that? What was/is your oil pressure at idle and running?

I would at a minumum, remove that rocker and pushrod and inspect them for damage.
