Default with or without rockers

i am going to buy a 98 z28, with the sounds of it a bent pushrod, bad lifter or somthing along those lines. drives and runs good other then that. my question is can i pull the pushrods out and unplug the injector on that cylinder to make the trip home? if there is any evidence as to why i shouldnt do this let me no asap! thanks

You will tear up the lifters/cam....spend the $50-150 and have it towed.

Are you sure you want this car? If the pushrods are bent, someone over revved the car and tagged a piston with a valve. The pushrods may be the least of your problems. Unless the car is free, look elsewhere.
