There is a link to pics of https://ls1tech.com/forums/members/b...ods-28922.html

I can't believe how bent they are.
Big thanks to 2BirdJosh- you were right my man.
Thanks to everyone else for the input, was a big help. Glad I joined LS1Tech.
If the link doesn't work just click on my profile and look at the album, and try not to laugh tio hard.
holy f*ck dude!

ok well if its still running like ****,
assuming you did a compression test and
NO valves are bent,

i would pull rockers and rods out again.
get a valve spring tool.
take out all springs and valve stem seals,
soak all valves with solvent
and move them up and down by hand so you know
they are free.
replace valve stem seals.

reassemble and recheck

Lost oil pressure. Reading 0 now. Looks like the motor is f*cked after all. Can't find another LS1 within 700 miles. I'm selling it.
