TopFlite

I have been running with a bent pushrod/s for a couple thousand miles, due to the fact that it's my daily driver and havent had enough downtime to work on it as of late. I'm going to change them this weekend, but should I be curious about the status of the lifter that was directly affected by the bent pushrod? I will change lifters if need be, but if bent pushrods do not harm the integrity of a lifter, then it can wait until another time; heads swap.
