Lash Caps....Seven Came Off

lash caps ? aren't those things like mini grenades ready to explode at random? I wouldn't have expected that from MRL , I'm assuming there was a good reason , but if it were mine , I would definitely eliminate them and rectify the reason for them being there in the first place
I've built several small and big block chevy engines, with never a problem. I had Mike build it for me, due to never putting together a Mopar engine, and getting the valve train geometry right was a big priority for me. Can you tell me a little about what it would take to rectify? I just finished the car build that took several years. Startup and checking for odds and ends was all I lack.
