is this pushrod bent? *pic* tell me what you guys think?? 
from the #7 cylinder intake valve
it seems to have extended the hole that the pushrod drops into in the head toward about 7 oclock by about 1/4". will it be safe to put a new pushrod in this hole? i'm guessing the lifter and the rocker will hold it in place and this hole being a little "extended".
i guess this explains my ticking noise

looks fine to me.
What the hell did you do to cause that? The dreaded 2-3 misshift into 1st? Ive been lucky. Ive made some of those misshifts but only when driving real slow in traffic. Accidently shifting into 1st at 20mph. oops

Beh, I wouldn't worry about that too much. Just buy some new pushrods, swap them out (or just the bent one if they're the same kind) and move on. I had one pushrod look something like that (not as bad though) when I did my cam swap. It also nicked the hole in the head a little too, but I just put in the new pushrods, closed her up and she's been running fine since.

If youre not running a cam, hardened pushrods are kinda pointless. Cuz if you had hardened pushrods when you missed the shift you would have bent the valve instead. Causing a lot more damage.

my dick is staighter than that and I have one hell of a hook.
my friend bends his [push rod for you preverts] about every 2 weeks and keeps using my old ones to fix it. i swear his rev limiter doesnt work. ive seen him rev it over 7000 rpms and his bottom end is stock . i guess he'll never learn till one of those rods come flying out of the block

can i put some dual valvesprings, titanium retainers etc, in right now and run the hardened pushrods and dual valvesprings with a stock cam? i was going to put in duals when i did my cam (in the future), but would it be ok now?
would it be ok to put in all the stuff as if i was putting in a bigger cam, and run with the stock cam for now?
what exactly is it that causes the pushrods to bend? is it really bad valve float or what? i did the dreaded 3rd to 2nd shift instead of 4th
i always forget to turn my hand toward the inside when i'm trying to hit 4th gear.
sorry for all my questions, but thanks for reading my posts!
