Default pushrods discolored?
I took my pushrods out of my 4.8 for my cam and valve spring swap and noticed the passenger side pushrods are all dirty and the driver side ones are not. Is this something I should worry about or is it just because you put clean oil in one side and not the other?

I agree, I'd ss PCV too... all your vacuum should be pulling on the passenger side.
