Reasoning for cylinder head malfunction

[quadro]

What would cause the Cylinder head to rip out and let the air nozzle fall out? It also snapped the front of the tappet plate.

what happened before you found that it was broke? this COULD be a broken tappet plate... or maybe something rattling around in there?

I would say broken tappet plate of maybe factory flaw in the piston head.

My guess would be a jammed barrel and explosive compression, but my mechbox skills are weak kimosabe...

Tappet wouldn't do that, it would mean that the tappet plate would have to bend up/down/side to side, and it couldn't since it's between metal rail. As previously stated, would either be a faulty part, or the nasty result of a jam.
