Since I was unable to find info regarding symptoms for this problem, here goes: truck began making much more noise through the intake (if you have a turbo, you may not hear this),higher EGTs, very rough idle that smooths out with higher RPMs, ever-present white smoke increases with heavy throttle loaded.
I may have gotten lucky because my spring was collapsed just enough that light pressure will take it off the seat. The only thing holding it open was lifter pre-load. I'll know tomorrow if it got bent.
Please note this is with intake spring failure, exhaust will behave differently.
Hope this is helpful for someone.
