+1 for checking your rockers.  I've had it happen on my original Shelby
Lancer slider cam.

It happened just easily pulling away from a stoplight

I don't know how you drive your cars, but I've seen rockers (followers) get
thrown off the cam.  The slider cam/followers that the older TD's came with
are prone to wear and get loose.  If they get revved too fast, they can jump
off.  I've seen this twice in two different Omnis my sister had, my Dad's
minivan, a car I bought from a friend and once on my Shelby Charger.  The
roller rockers (followers) are less prone to get thrown, but I have seen it
happen. Just an idea.  Good luck
