After removing the push rod find s flat surface like a glass tabletop and roll them over it and you will see if any are bent. If any are go with a hardened push rod like a Manley or Comp.

Well, From what people are telling me, the noises my valvetrain is making is normal. And I have read that the LS1 valve trains are naturally noisy. I have just git the revlimiter a couple of times and got scared. I have purchased this car recently so I am still learning the ins and outs about it. Thank you for the help
